Verified by Toppr

The poet seems to be talking about a place where the sidewalk ends which is quite magical and awesome. The poem conveys that it is only the children who seem to have the closest connection to the place where the sidewalk ends and that "we" should go there too.
The line "For the children, they mark, and the children, they know the place where the sidewalk ends." points that children know this place and the gives a message to the adult to go there.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
