Question
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? select 3 options.
□ the words glee and company use rhyme to express wordsworth’s feelings.
□ they flash upon that inward eye uses alliteration to illustrate a point.
□ i gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis.
□ alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils.
□ repetition can be found in then my heart with pleasure fills.
- Analyze "glee" and "company": "glee" (rhymes with "company" in terms of the -ee and -y? No, wait, "glee" and "company" don't rhyme (glee: /gliː/, company: /ˈkʌmpəni/), so first statement is wrong.
- "They flash upon that inward eye": Alliteration? The repeated "f" in "flash" and "inward"? Wait, "flash" and "inward" – no, "flash" (f) and "that" (t), "inward" (i). Wait, maybe "they" and "that"? No. Wait, maybe I'm wrong. Wait, "I gazed—and gazed—": repetition of "gazed", so that's repetition for emphasis. So third statement: "I gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis" – correct. Then "Alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils": "dances" and "daffodils" – both start with "d"? "dances" /dænsɪz/, "daffodils" /ˈdæfədɪlz/ – yes, alliteration (repetition of initial consonant sound). Wait, but the options: let's recheck. Wait, the options are:
- The words glee and company use rhyme to express Wordsworth’s feelings. – "glee" and "company" don't rhyme (glee: ee, company: y sound at end? No, rhyme is about similar vowel and final consonant. So wrong.
- They flash upon that inward eye uses alliteration to illustrate a point. – Alliteration is repetition of initial consonants. "flash" (f), "that" (t), "inward" (i) – no. Wait, "they" (th), "that" (th) – yes! "they" and "that" both start with "th". So alliteration. So second statement: correct? Wait, maybe.
- I gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis. – Repetition of "gazed", so correct.
- Alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils. – "dances" (d) and "daffodils" (d) – yes, alliteration. So correct? Wait, but the question says select 3 options. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's check again.
Wait, the fifth option: "Repetition can be found in then my heart with pleasure fills." – Is there repetition? "then my heart with pleasure fills" – no repetition. So wrong.
Wait, let's list all options:
A. The words glee and company use rhyme to express Wordsworth’s feelings. – Wrong (no rhyme).
B. They flash upon that inward eye uses alliteration to illustrate a point. – "they" (th) and "that" (th) – alliteration. So correct.
C. I gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis. – Repetition of "gazed" – correct.
D. Alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils. – "dances" (d) and "daffodils" (d) – alliteration. Correct.
E. Repetition can be found in then my heart with pleasure fills. – No repetition. Wrong.
Wait, but the question says select 3 options. So B, C, D? Wait, but maybe I'm wrong about B. Let's check "they flash upon that inward eye" – "flash" (f), "that" (t), "inward" (i). The initial consonants: "they" (th), "flash" (f), "upon" (u), "that" (th), "inward" (i), "eye" (e). So "they" and "that" have "th" – so alliteration. So B is correct. Then C: repetition of "gazed" – correct. D: "dances" and "daffodils" – alliteration (d sound) – correct. So B, C, D? Wait, but the original poem: "dances with the daffodils" – "dances" and "daffodils" both start with d, so alliteration. So D is correct. Then B: "they flash upon that inward eye" – "they" (th) and "that" (th) – alliteration. So B is correct. C: repetition of "gazed" – correct. So three options: B, C, D? Wait, but maybe the answer is C, D, and another? Wait, maybe I made a mistake with B. Let's check the definition of alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. So in "they flash upon that inward eye", "they" (th) and "that" (th) are adjacent?…
