For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye

A. Despite being able to plant my own daffodils, I prefer remembering the ones by the bay.
B.If I feel very sad, I look inside myself for courage to face the day with my eyes open.
C.Oftentimes, I become so tired and overwhelmed that I lay down and think of daffodils.
D. When I am feeling empty or concerned, the sight of the daffodils comes to my mind.


Respuesta :

The most suitable answer from the options is D) When I am feeling empty or concerned, the sight of the daffodils comes to my mind.

The reason is that the first part of this excerpt from "I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils)" by William Wordsworth, gives us the idea that he sits quietly on his couch with some unhappy feelings. In fact, it is a combination of no thoughts (emptiness) and sad feelings that make him concerned. The last lines give us the idea of daffodils appearing out of a sudden in his mind. That is why the last option is the most suitable.
