28.

The correct answer is (C). The two principle characters are

children of their species. To reinforce this concept, Blake has

chosen a word pattern that is childlike and simple. Such a

speech scheme would tend to be monosyllabic. Choices (D) and

(E) are not consistent with the theme of the poem. Choice (B) is

incorrect and illogical based on a reading of the poem. While

choice (A) may be true, the better answer is choice (C), to

create a childlike, innocent mood.
