Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall."He is all pine and I am apple orchard.My apple trees will never get acrossAnd eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."Based on the excerpt, what does the speaker most likely think about the wall?

The speaker points out that apple trees cannot cross the wall and eat the pine cones, so there is no practical need for a barrier between the two properties. This suggests he thinks the wall is unnecessary, even though his neighbor insists that “good fences make good neighbours.”
