Question

Which is NOT a reason that Wordsworth chose to write poems connected with “Low and rustic life”? “I flattered myself that they who should be pleased with them would read them with more than common pleasure: and . . . by those who should dislike them they would be read with more than common dislike.” “[T]he essential passions of the heart find a better soil in which they can attain their maturity, are less under restraint, and speak a plainer and more emphatic language . . . .” “[T]he manners . . . germinate. . . because in that situation the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature.” “The language too of these men is adopted . . . because . . . being less under the action of social vanity they convey their feelings and notions in simple and unelaborated expressions.”

Answer 1

   It is the third one.The clue lies in the fact that he mentions "the passions of men as incorporated with ..forms of nature..."In this sense, it is clearly shown that this is not a reason why he chose to write poems connected with low and rustic life.Low and rustic life do mention ."..beautiful and permanent forms of nature.."He wrote using the real language of men in which there were not manners always, there were feelings.
