Read the poem "city trees" by edna st. vincent millay. the trees along this city street, save for the traffic and the trains, would make a sound as thin and sweet as trees in country lanes. and people standing in their shade out of a shower, undoubtedly would hear such music as is made upon a country tree. oh, little leaves that are so dumb against the shrieking city air, i watch you when the wind has come,— i know what sound is there. what is the central idea of this poem? a) city trees cannot compete with the beauty of trees in the country. b) people in cities do not realize that their landscape needs trees. c) city trees make sounds that cannot be heard above the commotion. d) people in cities need to travel to the country to see trees blooming.

C) City trees make sounds that cannot be heard above the commotion.

Explanation:

"Save for the traffic and the trains", in this line you can read the main idea of the whole text, "would make a sound as thin and sweet", they can make it, and they are making it but the whole traffic, the rush, the train, it all keeps us from realizing the beauty of the trees we have in the city streets.

id say it means hes fearful and/or cautious

have a good day

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
