Question 1: What is nature's attitude toward humans in Sara Teasdale's poem 'There Will Come Soft Rains'?

In the poem, nature doesn’t care if humans are gone or not. Birds still sing, frogs still croak, trees still grow — everything keeps going like normal. The poem says that if humans disappeared, nature wouldn’t even notice. That means nature feels indifferent — it doesn’t feel sad, angry, or sorry. It just goes on.

So the right answer is: Indifference

Question 2: What destroys the house in Ray Bradbury's 'There Will Come Soft Rains'?

In the story, the house is automatic and runs all by itself after the family is gone. But at the end, a tree branch breaks off during a storm, hits the house, starts a fire inside, and the whole house burns down. So the thing that actually destroys it is fire.

Even though nuclear war killed the people earlier, the house itself was destroyed by fire.

So the right answer is: Fire

Question 3: What is the only evidence remaining of the house's former inhabitants in 'There Will Come Soft Rains'?

After the family dies (from nuclear blast), their bodies are burned away — but on the west wall of the house, there’s a dark shape left behind where they were standing. It looks like a silhouette — kind of like a shadow picture. That’s the only thing left to show they ever lived there.

The other choices — pink ribbon, teddy bear, name on mailbox — aren’t mentioned as being left behind in the story.

So the right answer is: A silhouette of the family on the west wall

Final Answer:
1. Indifference
2. Fire
3. A silhouette of the family on the west wall
