Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
What is the effect of the word dancing as it is used in this context?
It suggests that the plants in this poem possess magical powers.
It shows that the flowers are cheerfully moving with the wind.
It describes the signs of a strong storm that is approaching.
It emphasizes the poet's interest in folktales and traditional tales.
Answer:
It shows that the flowers are cheerfully moving with the wind.
Explanation:
The word "dancing" as used in the poem above, refers to the movement of the flowers, which sway gracefully and cheerfully with the wind. This grace can be compared to the grace of dancers dancing happily and harmoniously according to a certain song. The music of the flowers, however, is the gentle breeze that moves them rhythmically.
