Read the excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. Which statements are correct? Choose three correct answers.
Answer
A
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis.
B
Alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils.
C
The words glee and company use rhyme to express Wordsworth’s feelings.
D
They flash upon that inward eye uses alliteration to illustrate a point.
E
Repetition can be found in then my heart with pleasure fills.
Explanation
A is correct because “gazed—and gazed” repeats “gazed” to emphasize how long the speaker looked. B is correct because “dances” and “daffodils” begin with the same d sound, creating alliteration. D is correct because “They” and “that” repeat the initial th sound. “Glee” and “company” do not form a clear rhyme, and “then my heart with pleasure fills” contains no repeated word.
