D) The neighbor is in favor of building walls, while the speaker is more skeptical

The options' letter for question 2 are a bit confusing, so I will not write the letters, only the quotes.

2) Choose two quotes from the poem which portray the neighbor as misguided and misinformed

- He only says, "Good fences make good neighbors." Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head

- He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well

Explanation:

In "Mending Wall", the speaker does not see a good reason for him and his neighbor to rebuild the wall that separates their properties. According to the speaker, there is nothing there to be separated. He thinks the wall creates an obstacle that is unnecessary.

He also views his neighbor as a misguided, stubborn person. The neighbor has learned that walls are important and has never questioned that, seeing it as a fact. Even if the speaker tried to make him open his mind and question the need for a wall, the neighbor would most likely keep on repeating "Good fences make good neighbors." That is frustrating to the speaker, so he simply keeps on rebuilding the wall.

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .
