Samir Ali · Answer 1

The right answer is 4. Tear down the wall and get closer to his neighbor.

The speaker tries to persuade his neighbor to put the wall down, to no avail. He realizes that the two of them are related as human beings. He tries to communicate, but the wall is a symbol of silence and isolation. The speaker feels that building walls is unnatural. " Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, That wants it down."
