Which line from the poem "The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter" by Ezra Pound best supports the idea that the children are fond of each other?

A."You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,"
B."Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."
C."The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead."
D."The paired butterflies are already yellow with August"

I would say the answer to your question is B. ''to small people, withought dislike or suspicion.'' Small people probably refer to children, and withought dislike or suspicion makes it feel as if they are found of each other. Hope this helps!! ever need anything else just ask!

Answer:

B). "Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

Explanation:

'The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter' authored by Ezra Pound is a poem(in a dramatic monologue) that is actually an adaptation of a Chinese poem written by a sixteen-year-old girl. It is written as a letter by the river merchant's wife displaying her unspoken feelings to her husband who is far away.

As per the question, option B i.e. 'Two small people, without dislike or suspicion' involves the line that most adequately compliments the idea of 'children being fond of each other.' 'Two small people' stands for the children and the phrase 'without dislike or suspicion' implies that they do not have any kind of distrust, doubt, or uncertainty towards each other. They like each other's company and enjoy the time together without suspicion or dislike.Thus, option B is the correct answer.
