Read these stanzas from “The Chimney Sweeper.” What is the best summary of the events the stanzas describe? And so he was quiet, and that very night
As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight!
That thousands of sweepers, D, Joe, Ned, and Jack,
Were all of them locked up in coffins of black;

And by came an Angel who had a bright key,
And he opened the coffins and set them all free;
Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run,
And wash in a river and shine in the Sun.

Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,
They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind.
And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good boy,
He'd have God for his father and never want joy.

A) The speaker dreamed that Tom died and went to heaven.

B)Tom dreamed that sweepers died and went to heaven.

C)Tom dreamed that the speaker died and went to heaven.

D)Tom died during the night and went to heaven.
