    • Tick-Tock

    • Battery

    • Time

    • Clock

    Correct Answer
    A. Tick-Tock
    Explanation
    The author uses the words "tick-tock" to describe the watch, which implies that it has hands that move in a ticking and tocking motion. This distinguishes it from a digital watch, which typically displays the time using numbers. The other words "battery," "time," and "clock" are not specific to a watch with hands and could apply to both types of watches.

    • The watch probably enjoys taking a break when the battery dies

    • The watch probably gets bored keeping track of the time

    • The watch will probably stop working

    • The watch likes to take a rest now and then

    Correct Answer
    A. The watch probably enjoys taking a break when the battery dies
    Explanation
    The poet is contemplating whether the watch finds it boring to constantly keep track of time or if it feels a sense of relief and enjoyment when it gets a break due to a dead battery. The last two stanzas suggest that the watch may actually feel glee when it is not ticking and is temporarily at rest, implying that it enjoys taking a break when the battery dies.
