Question of the Day: HiSET: Language Arts - Reading

Adapted from Emily Dickinson's "Tell All The Truth But Tell It Slant" (1872)
 
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —

How is the truth like lightning, according to the speaker of this poem?

It comes down at a slant

It can be so alarming and powerful that it causes problems

It needs no explanation or discussion

It is a circuit
