3.- The right answer is C) The teacher "referenced" the book during today's lecture. It means the teacher gave references of the book.

How do the words describing nature in lines 12-14 contribute to the tone of the passage?
madam [21]

Answer: Lines 12-14 contribute to the tone of joy and happiness.

Explanation:

In "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", William Wordsworth recalls his experience of seeing a field of daffodils on a beautiful day.

In lines 12–14, the poet describes how the flowers swayed to the breeze while "tossing their heads." He claims that the sea beside them also "danced", but that daffodils were more delightful.

These lines contribute to the overall tone of the poem - that of happiness and joy. The image in front of him inspired the poet, and stimulated his imagination.
