What is the title of the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem centering upon an idyllic scene of New England rural life in the early 19th century?

  1. "The Wreck of the Hesperus"

  2. "Evangeline"

  3. "The Village Blacksmith"

  4. "The Song of Hiawatha"

The correct answer is: "The Village Blacksmith"

The only option that is focused on a rural scene in New England is "The Village Blacksmith." The other options each have a different focus - "The Wreck of the Hesperus" is about a shipwreck, "Evangeline" is about a woman searching for her lost lover, and "The Song of Hiawatha" is based on Native American myths and legends. Therefore, these options are not correct for this particular poem title.
