Read the stanzas from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

What is the effect of describing the daffodils as "continuous as the stars that shine" (line 7)?
It adds to the image of the flowers being everywhere.
It contrasts the golden flowers with the silver that shines.
It paints a picture of the stars being in a flower shape.
It shows that the flowers grow in every season of the year.

Respuesta :

The correct option is: It adds to the image of the flowers being everywhere.

This line gives the reader the idea that there are lots of daffodils growing in groups everywhere.

The word "continuously," emphasizes the idea of flowers without a break and there is a comparison with the stars because the galaxy is full of stars like a garden full of daffodils.

The right answer is:

It adds to the image of the flowers being everywhere.

Explanation:

Even though the flowers do contrast with their golden color, the fact that there are as many as stars is the best explanation for this to be the right answer.
