Question

\the tables turned\
by william wordsworth
as: poem: some on the same subject
up! up! my friend, and quit your books;
or surely youll grow double:
up! up! my friend, and dear your looks,
why all this toil and trouble?

5 the sun, above the mountains head,
a freshening luster mellow
through all the long green field has spread,
his first sweet evening yellow.

books! tis a dull and endless strife:
10 come, hear the woodland linet,
how sweet his music: on my life,
theres more of wisdom in it,

and hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
he, too, is no mean preacher:
15 come forth into the light of things,
let nature be your teacher

which quotation best expresses the positive impact of spending time outside?
○ \through all the long green field has spread,
his first sweet evening yellow\ (lines 7-8)
○ \she has a world of ready wealth,
our minds and hearts to bless--\ (lines 17-18)
○ \and hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
he, too, is no mean preacher\ (lines 13-14)
○ \enough of science and of art,
close up those barren leaves\ (lines 29-30)

Explanation:

To determine the quotation expressing the positive impact of exploring nature, we analyze each option:

• Option 1 ("Through all...") describes nature's beauty (sun spreading over fields), showing nature's positive, enriching visual impact.
• Option 2 focuses on nature's "wealth" for minds/hearts but is more about emotional/mental wealth; the first option emphasizes the visual beauty of nature’s scene.
• Option 3 highlights a bird’s singing as a preacher, more about wisdom in nature’s sounds.
• Option 4 is a call to stop science/art, not about nature’s positive impact of exploration.

The first option best shows the positive, aesthetic impact of nature’s landscape when explored.

Answer:

A. Through all the long green fields has spread, / His first sweet evening yellow (Lines 7 - 8)
