Read the passages. "A Defence of Poetry” Poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world; it arrests

the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life, and veiling them, or in language or in form, sends them forth among mankind. "Mutability” We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon; How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver, Streaking the darkness radiantly!—yet soon Night closes round, and they are lost for ever How does the first stanza of "Mutability” reflect the idea expressed in this excerpt from "A Defence of Poetry”? It demonstrates poetry’s ability to make all things “immortal” by referring to images from nature that have existed for centuries. It demonstrates poetry’s ability to send images “forth among mankind” by explaining in detail how this is accomplished. It demonstrates poetry’s ability to “arrest the vanishing apparitions” of life by preserving an image of a fleeting moment in time. It demonstrates poetry’s ability to portray all things as “beautiful” by taking an unpleasant image and depicting it as a lovely one.

The correct answer is <em>"It demonstrates poetry’s ability to “arrest the vanishing apparitions” of life by preserving an image of a fleeting moment in time"</em>

The extract from Mutability describes how they feel and it compares to clouds. But especifically to night clouds. Owing to that, the narrator explains how they are and how they disappear when the night finishes, he highlights that unique moment in a nice way. It is presented as one of the prettiest things of the world and because it is written, makes it inmortal.
