Question 5
Read the poem carefully, Then, answer questions (a)-(d)
What is Red? by Mary O’Neil
Red is a sunset
Red is an Indian
Blazing and bright.
A Valentine heart,
Red is feeling brave
The trimmings on
With all your might.
A circus cart.
Red is a sunburn
Red is a lipstick
A spot on your nose.
Red is a shout
Sometimes red, is a red red rose.
Red is a signal
Red squiggles out when you cut your hand.
That says, “Watch out!”
Red is a brick
Red is a great big
And the sounds of a band.
Rubber ball.
Red is hotness
Red is the giant-est
You get inside
Colour of all.
When you’re embarrassed
Red is a show-off,
And want to hide.
No doubt about it –
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
But can you imagine
Fire-flicker red –
Living without it?
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.
