Read the poem “I’m Nobody” by Emily Dickinson and answer the question that follows.

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you — Nobody — too?
Then there’s a pair of us
Don’t tell! they’d advertise — you know!
How dreary — to be — Somebody!
How public — like a Frog —
To tell one’s name — the livelong June —
To an admiring Bog!

What is the significance of the simile comparing the “Somebody” to a frog?


It aids in the visualization of the bog.

It helps the reader imagine the humble “Nobody.”

It contributes to the boastful image of the “Somebody.”

It helps the reader “hear” the “Nobody.”
