From “The Snowstorm” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, drive o’er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hill and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end.
6 The sled and traveler stopped, the courier’s feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
9 In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

Which best restates lines 6–9 of Emerson’s poem?


People are staying indoors during the storm.


Travelers stop to admire the beauty of the woods.


Neighbors stay in contact during the storm.


Families enjoy sitting around the fire together.
