Read these lines from the poem "The Black Snake" by Patricia Hubbell. Black snake! Black snake!

Curving down the lawn,

Glides like a wave

With its silver gone.

What is the meaning of the imagery in these lines?

The snake is trying to find its way back to the ocean.

The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean.

The snake is as elusive and unpredictable as catching a fish.

The snake is a creature of the water. PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER

The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean

Explanation:

To me, it seems as the most logical since the lines of the poem are explaining the snakes movements as 'waves' and tainting it with the words 'curving' and 'glides'.

The second statement: The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean.

Reasoning

The simile, "Glides like a wave" is comparing the snake's movements to the graceful flows of ocean waves.

"Curving down the lawn" describes that the snake is on someone's lawn and there is no statement showing that it is making an effort to escape.

These lines invalidate the others and prove the answer.

ich statement best shows a problem in travels with charley?

one sharp difficulty presented itself. in the intervening twenty-five years my name had become reasonably well known.

this being so, my trip demanded that i leave my name and my identity at home.

i had to go alone and i had to be self-contained, a kind of casual turtle carrying his house on his back.

with all this in mind i wrote to the head office of a great corporation which manufactures trucks.
