Select the correct text in the passage.
Which set of lines in this excerpt from "Easter, 1816" by W. B. Yeats suggests that the speaker had only a limited acquaintance with the people he is writing about?

[Option #1:] <u>I have passed with a nod of the head</u>
<u>Or polite meaningless words,</u>
<u>Or have lingered awhile and said </u>
<u>Polite meaningless words,</u>
And thought before I had done
Of a mocking tale or a gibe
To please a companion
Around the fire at the club,
[Option #2:] <u>Being certain that they and I</u>
<u>But lived where motley is worn:</u>
<u>All changed, changed utterly:</u>
<u>A terrible beauty is born.</u>
. . .
[Option #3:] <u>Hearts with one purpose alone</u>
<u>Through summer and winter seem </u>
<u>Enchanted to a stone </u>
<u>To trouble the living stream.</u>
