Question 11 • Credit Recovery_Literature and Composition III_A_2026
The speaker says spring brings out “the mischief in me” and imagines teasing his neighbor by suggesting that elves knock the wall down. He also wants the neighbor to question the wall’s purpose for himself, which gives the passage a playful, mischievous mood. “Determined” is less fitting because the speaker is wondering and joking, not firmly insisting on an action.
