B. suggest that each walk follows the same sequence of events

Explanation:

In the first stanza of the poem Dog-Walk by Mary Balazs, Mary describes how the dog has learnt to avoid certain things such as thistles or to go towards things she finds pleasant such as the areas where the plantains are soft.

She has learnt this due to the familiarity she had developed from walking the same path for a while following the same sequence. The frequency of these walks is symbolized by the use of the phrases Over the years and From thousands of walks.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.
