‘And so Tom awoke and we rose in the dark
And got with our bags and our brushes to work
Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm;
So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.‘

- is working indoors
- is wearing warm clothes
-
is doing his duty
- has just woken from sleep
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
In the lines above, Tom is warm because he is doing his duty. The last line of the poem states, 'So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.' This suggests that Tom's warmth is not a result of just waking from sleep, wearing warm clothes, or working indoors, but rather from the satisfaction and fulfillment derived from doing his duty.
