I agree.
Yes, I can help you with that! Based on the provided options, the best paraphrase of the lines from the poem would be:
B. The sun brightens the sky and bells are ringing, birds sing along with the bell, we play outside until we are tired and go home at the end of the day.
To arrive at this answer, we can break down the original lines of the poem:
"The sun does arise and make it happy the skies,
the Mary bells ring to work on the spring,
the Skylark and thrush,
The birds of the bush
Sing louder around to the bells cheerful sound,
while our sports shall be seen
on the echoing green
till the little ones weary
no more can be merry
The sun does descend
in our sports have an end"
From this, we can gather that the poem describes the happiness brought about by the sun rising and making the skies happy. The ringing of the Mary bells signals the arrival of spring, and the birds sing louder along with the cheerful sound of the bells. The people engage in sports on the echoing green until the little ones become weary and can no longer be merry. Eventually, the sun descends and their sports come to an end.
Paraphrasing this information, option B captures the essence of the lines, describing the sun brightening the sky, the ringing bells, the singing of birds, playing sports until tiredness sets in, and finally, going home when the day ends. Therefore, the best answer is B.
