Question

read the third quatrain of \sonnet 130.\ i love to hear her speak, yet well i know that music hath a far more pleasing sound: i grant i never saw a goddess go— my mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground —\sonnet 130,\ william shakespeare how does the third quatrain further develop the central ideas presented in the first and second quatrains? it continues the pattern of comparing the mistress to natural elements. it changes the descriptions of the mistress from favorable to unfavorable. it extends beyond descriptions of sight and smell with descriptions of sound. it increases the harshness of the descriptions to emphasize the speaker’s feelings.

Explanation:

The first and second quatrains describe the mistress in terms of sight and smell. The third quatrain describes her voice, extending the sensory - based descriptions beyond sight and smell. It doesn't continue the comparison to natural elements as the main focus, doesn't change from favorable to unfavorable, and doesn't increase harshness of descriptions.

Answer:

It extends beyond descriptions of sight and smell with descriptions of sound.
