To answer this question, we need to analyze the poem "Birches" by Robert Frost.
In the poem, the speaker observes bent birch trees and is prompted to imagine certain things. The line that follows "Bent birches prompt the speaker of the poem by that name to imagine" gives us the clues to determine the answer choices.
Let's break down the answer choices one by one:
1. Ice storms: This answer choice is supported by the line "Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, / Whose only play was what he found himself, / Summer or winter, and could play alone." This suggests that the speaker imagines ice storms causing the birch trees to bend.
2. A boy's been swinging on them: This answer choice is supported by the poem's portrayal of a boy swinging on the birch trees. The lines "I should prefer to have some boy bend them / As he went out and in to fetch the cows" indicate the speaker's imagination of a boy swinging on the birch trees.
3. People cutting them down: This answer choice is not supported by the poem. The speaker does not mention or imagine people cutting down the bent birch trees.
4. The harshness of nature: This answer choice is not directly supported by the poem. The speaker recognizes the bending of birch trees as a result of various causes, but the tone is not focused solely on the harshness of nature.
Therefore, the correct answers to the prompt "Bent birches prompt the speaker of the poem by that name to imagine" are:
- Ice storms.
- A boy's been swinging on them.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how the answer to the question was derived!
