When the speaker says that the dust of snow shook down on him, he implies that it was accidental , rather than intentional.
Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:
To fill the blank with one word, we need to find a word that fits the meaning and context of the sentence.
- In this case, we need to find a word that describes the nature of the action of the crow shaking down the dust of snow on the speaker.
- The sentence is from a poem by Robert Frost called “Dust of Snow”. The poem is about how a small and seemingly insignificant event can change one’s mood or perspective.
- The speaker says that the way a crow shook down on him the dust of snow from a hemlock tree made him happy and saved his day.
- The filled sentence would be ‘When the speaker says that the dust of snow shook down on him, he implies that it was accidental, rather than intentional.’ 🌨️
- Therefore, one possible word that can fill the blank in the question is ‘accidental’. 👍
