Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:

Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!

Paraphrase: The poet asks us to look at a young girl of the mountainous region of Scotland. She is reaping and binding the crop all by herself. No one is there to help her. The poet suggests of two options. Either you stand and watch her working or gently pass from there without disturbing her.

(a) Which region does the solitary reaper belong to?

(b) What was the girl doing?

(c) What does the poet suggest?
