The neighbours meet in the spring season to :

  • A.fill the gaps in the wall.
  • B.to go on a long walk.
  • C.to find out who broke the wall.
  • D.to lift the stones.

Answer: A

The neighbours meet in the spring season to fill the gaps in the wall.

The extract says 'at spring mending-time we find them there' (the gaps), and then 'on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again'. They meet to repair the wall that stands between their land, which means filling the gaps.

They do walk along the line, but the walk is the way of finding the gaps, not the purpose. The poem does not say they meet to find out who broke the wall, as the hunters did and no one saw them do it, and lifting the stones is part of the repair and not the reason for meeting.
