Read the excerpt below from the poem “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke and answer the question that follows.



She played it quick, she played it light and loose;
My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;
Her several parts could keep a pure repose,
Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose
(She moved in circles, and those circles moved).

The right answer is I  “She played it quick, she played it light and loose;”. An exhilarated mood is when someone feels happy, refreshed, energetic. It means that someone is full of excitement, joy, being in an extremely good mood. In this case we can imagine how happy she is because she plays like careless, just enjoying the moment. The adjectives used to describe her are related with happiness and joy.
