Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES W

HATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . . . . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he. What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt?
A. trapped
B. connected
C. depended
D. aided

Answer:

The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.

Explanation:

Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

B) “to relate or describe them throughout, as far as was possible, in a selection of language really used by men”

C) “because in that conditions the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature”

D) “because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated”

Answer:

D) “because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated”

Explanation:

Rural life was a great inspiration for Wordsworth's work. He always addressed how hard work, contact with nature and the simple life of the countryman had a positive impact on people's lives, personality and even feelings. He believed that this type of environment has a simplicity that makes emotions and feelings simpler and therefore more understandable and easier to be contemplated.
