Question

which set of lines in this excerpt from w. b. yeatss \easter, 1916\ suggests that his response to the easter rising goes beyond personal animosity? that womans days were spent in ignorant good - will, her nights in argument until her voice grew shrill. what voice more sweet than hers when, young and beautiful, she rode to harriers? this man had kept a school and rode our winged horse; this other his helper and friend was coming into his force; he might have won fame in the end, so sensitive his nature seemed, so daring and sweet his thought. this other man i had dreamed a drunken, vainglorious lout, he had done most bitter wrong to some who are near my heart, yet i number him in the song; he, too, has resigned his part in the casual comedy; he, too, has been changed in his turn, transformed utterly: a terrible beauty is born.

Explanation:

The question asks about lines in Yeats' "Easter, 1916" that suggest a response beyond personal animosity. Analyzing the themes and context of the poem, which deals with the Easter Rising in Ireland and broader political - social upheaval, helps in identifying such lines.

Answer:

The poem's overall tone and references to the transformation and the larger significance of the events suggest that lines which move away from individual grudges and towards a more universal or historical perspective would be the answer. However, since no specific line options are given, a full - fledged answer cannot be provided. But in general, lines that discuss the 'terrible beauty' emerging from the events and the change in the nation's consciousness rather than personal grievances would fit the bill.
