A. is working indoors B. is wearing warm clothes C. is doing his duty D. has just woken from sleep
Correct Answer: 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.
