Question

Read the fourth stanza from "Mutability."

Answer 1

Answer:

The option that best states the idea conveyed in the last line of this stanza is:

b. Change is the only thing that is eternal.

Explanation:

The last line says, "Nought may endure but Mutability", which means, in simpler words, that nothing else lasts, only change lasts. That line summarizes the theme of the whole poem. "Mutability" is a four-stanza poem by Percy Bisshe Shelley that describes life and its experiences as fleeting. We, our thoughts, our actions, our cares, our days, they are all going to pass. Attachment is almost foolish since nothing will stay the same, our yesterday and our tomorrow are never alike. The only certainty we have is that change is eternal. It is the only thing that endures, and it touches every single aspect of our lives.
