Read the excerpt from "How I Learned English.”I played on till duskMissing flies and pop-ups and groundersAnd calling out in desperation things like"Yours” and "take it,” but doing all right,Tugging at my cap in just the right way,Crouching low, my feet set."Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.The reader can tell that this excerpt is part of the poem’s resolution, because the speaker
Answer
A
finally feels a sense of belonging.
B
finally learns how to play baseball.
C
no longer wants to get home before dusk.
D
no longer tries to catch the ball.
Explanation
The speaker is still missing some plays, but is “doing all right” and joining in by calling out baseball phrases and tugging at his cap like the others. These details suggest he is becoming comfortable with the game and the group. The resolution shows him finally feeling a sense of belonging, not necessarily mastering baseball completely.
