The poet's voice is steady, even reserved, but a careful reader soon learns to mark the small departures from that calm — the sudden internal rhyme, the stanza that runs a line too long. These are the moments where her feeling shows.
As used in the text, what does the word "mark" most nearly mean?
- A
celebrate publicly
- B
give a grade to
- C
leave a stain on
- Dcheck_circle
notice and attend to
Explanation
The careful reader learns to notice subtle departures, so "mark" means to notice or pay attention to, not stain, grade, or celebrate.
