In wintertime you will not see

the object of your heart's desire.

the treasure that will set you free

you will not find in earth or fire.

but stand where rocks and pebbles sing

and seek the joyous sounds of spring.

based on the poet’s word choices, what is the tone toward those who seek the treasure?

a) disinterested
b) mocking
c) encouraging
d) humorous

C) Encouraging

Because in line 6-7 The poet said 
"But stand where rocks and pebbles sing And seek the joyous sounds of spring" and by doing elimination you can find that it isn't disinterested cause there would be no poem and it isn't cause he said you can find joyous sounds of spring and it isnt a humorous cause there would of been at least a couple funny qoutes

 I hope this helps.
