Question 18 • English IV

Read the haiku. April’s air stirs in willow-leaves . . . a butterfly floats and balances Now, read Gabriel’s analysis of the haiku. This haiku contains a kigo in addition to a motif. Which word from the haiku supports Gabriel’s analysis?

Answer
A
willow-leaves
B
balances
C
April’s
D
butterfly

Explanation

A kigo is a word or phrase that signals a season. “April’s” points to spring, so it supports Gabriel’s analysis by serving as a seasonal reference. “Butterfly” is an image or motif, but it does not identify the season as directly as “April’s.”
