'. . . . . loving their cool hardness in our hands'. What is the speaker referring to the given line ?

  • A.the potato drills
  • B.the gun
  • C.the handles of the spade
  • D.the potatoes

Answer: D

The speaker is referring to the potatoes.

The sentence runs 'To scatter new potatoes that we picked, / Loving their cool hardness in our hands'. 'Their' points back to 'new potatoes', and cool hardness is how a freshly dug potato feels to the hand.

The potato drills are the furrows, not something held in hands. The gun is only the simile for the pen in line 2, and the spade handle is not described as cool or hard here. The potatoes are the only noun in the line that 'their' can refer to.
