Answer Details
The correct answer is "children are delighted while women move in and out". The poem describes a thunderstorm in an African village and portrays the reactions of the people to the storm. The children are depicted as being joyful and playful, enjoying the rain and the excitement of the storm. The women, on the other hand, are portrayed as being busy and practical, moving in and out to protect their homes and belongings from the storm. The poem does not mention women cooking their food or children playing in the rain without the women being present.
