Answer 1

Answer:

to bring out the liveliness and the poet's longing to see the scenic beauty of the daffodils again.

Explanation:

In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", Wordsworth uses the word "dance" in the first and fourth stanzas to bring out the liveliness and the poet's longing to see the scenic beauty of the daffodils again.

In the first stanza, the daffodils are dancing whereas in the fourth stanza, the poet is dancing

By "dance" in the first stanza, the poet means the daffodils were so lively that they seemed like they were dancing. The poet thinks that nature is simply the most beautiful sight.

In the fourth stanza, the poet uses the word "dance" to mean that whenever he is feeling down and lonely, he thinks about the daffodils and dance along with them in his imagination. Wordsworth view nature as a place refuge and comfort.
