The lines 'Two brothers we are, Great burdens we bear' refer to which object?

• A. Gloves
• B. Hats
• C. Shoes
• D. Belts

Answer: (C)

This line uses personification to describe an everyday object that comes in a pair and carries the body’s weight. The idea of “Two brothers we are” signals a paired item, while “Great burdens we bear” points to something that literally carries a heavy load for us when we move. Shoes fit best because they are worn as a left-right pair and they support and distribute the weight of the body as we stand, walk, or run. Gloves also come in a pair, but their purpose is to handle objects and protect hands rather than bear the body’s weight. Hats are worn on the head and aren’t a pair, and belts are typically used singly rather than as a true matched pair. So the description matches shoes.
