which line of poetry would most likely open a lyric poem?
○ once upon a midnight dreary...
○ \is there anybody there?\ said the traveller.
○ i wandered lonely as a cloud.

Explanation:

Lyric poems express personal emotions/feelings, often using a first - person perspective and vivid imagery.

• "Once upon a midnight dreary..." is from a narrative poem (tells a story, like a ballad - type structure in "The Raven").
• "Is there anybody there?" said the Traveller is from a narrative poem ("The Listeners") that presents a story - like situation with dialogue.
• "I wandered lonely as a cloud" is from a lyric poem ("I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud") by Wordsworth. It uses first - person ("I"), and the simile "lonely as a cloud" conveys a personal emotional - experiential state, fitting the lyric poem's focus on personal feeling and expression.

Answer:

C. I wandered lonely as a cloud.
