Sonnets

Question 7 • MCS English IV Semester 1 BL

What is the central idea of the second quatrain of "Sonnet 91”?

Answer
A
The speaker thinks that other people’s joys are illogical.
B
The speaker finds joy in many different types of things.
C
Different people like different things, but only one thing makes the speaker happy.
D
Different types of people can all find enjoyment in the same thing.

Explanation

The second quatrain says each person finds joy in something that suits them, but those different pleasures are not what the speaker values most. He says he prefers them all to “one general best”—his beloved. So the central idea is that people like different things, but one thing is the speaker’s greatest happiness: choice C.
