Question 9 • DRHS Literature and Composition III

Which best describes the speaker’s feelings after eating the plums in "This Is Just to Say"?

Answer
A
The speaker is deeply regretful about eating what belonged to someone else.
B
The speaker is content about taking the fruit from someone who wronged him.
C
The speaker is relieved that no one caught him eating the fruit.
D
The speaker is satisfied about his decision to eat the fruit.

Explanation

The speaker admits that he ate the plums meant for someone else, then describes them as “delicious,” “so sweet,” and “so cold.” Those vivid words emphasize his enjoyment rather than deep regret or relief at avoiding discovery. The best choice is that he is satisfied about his decision to eat the fruit.
