56.

The correct answer is (E). While this question seems to be

about a detail, it is also about the theme of the poem. The

speaker is saddened by his daughter’s death, and the falling

snow reminds him of her grave. Only choice (E) reflects this

theme. Choice (A) is contrary to the facts. Choices (B) and (C)

are not relevant. The setting, choice (D), is established earlier in

the poem, leaving choice (E) as the correct response.
