Question:

Read the poem and answer the following questions.

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

How are Molly, Milly, and May related to each other? 

Options:

They are sisters 

They are friends 

They are cousins 

Cannot say 

Correct Answer:

Cannot say 

Explanation:

The correct answer is: OPTION 4 - Cannot say

Explanation: The poem does not explicitly state the relationship between Molly, Milly, and May. While they go to the beach together and share experiences, the text does not provide enough information to determine whether they are sisters, friends, or cousins. Therefore, the most accurate choice is "Cannot say."
