Remembrance Day Poetry Comprehension

Read the poem carefully, then answer the questions. Use evidence from the poem where you can.

The Quiet Minute

At eleven, the village clock grows still, A single bell floats over field and hill. A scarlet poppy nods beside the stone; The names are carved, but no one stands alone. We hold our breath; the busy street is quiet, Then birdsong threads the air like a promise. We remember courage, loss and care, And carry peace with us everywhere.
