The lines in the poem “Astrophil and Stella” which indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love are:
1. “And pleas’d with our soft peace, stayed here his flying race.”
2. “Where with most ease and warmth he might employ his art:”
3. “Deceiv’d the quaking boy, who thought from so pure light”
4. “But she most fair, most cold, made him thence take his flight To my close heart, where while some firebrands he did lay,”
5. “He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.”
Sir Phillip Sydney wrote the sequence of sonnets “Astrophil and Stella” which has been inspired by his relationship with Lady Penelope.

B. As in most traditional plays, the plot of act 1 of Beyond the Horizon is designed to provide exposition and build up the tension of the play.
Explanation:
Option B is correct, as there is exposition of the play’s main themes;
a) The urge to follow one’s dreams
b) The complex father/son relation
c) Husband/wife relation
d) Love triangle of Robert Mayo, Andrew Mayo, and Ruth Atkins.
Act 1 also serves as an exposition to the main internal conflicts of the play among following one’s dreams, desires, and destiny and external conflict between father and son.
Option A is not correct because Act 1 of “Beyond the Horizon” is not just a short prologue, but rising action or exposition of the play.
Option C is not correct, as neither in most traditional plays nor in “Beyond the Horizon” is the main conflict brought to a head.
Option D is not correct because in “Beyond the Horizon” Act 1 is just exposition of the internal and external conflicts of the play - we are nowhere near the resolution of the conflicts.
