Read the poem "There Will Come Soft Rains". There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone.

What are the details in the first half of the poem supposed to represent?

the power of nature to endure, even if humans do not

a reassurance to readers that everything will be okay

the strong connection between humans and animals

what the world will look like after the war has ended

Which details support the idea that secrets are a leading cause of the catastrophe? check all that apply. “not so long as is a tedious tale” “their stolen marriage-day” “then comes she to me” “for whom, and not for tybalt, juliet pin’d” “for it wrought on her / the form of death”
