Answer:The first sentence describes how Federigo lived happily after his marriage. However, I do not feel that Federigo is truly in love with his wife. The references to his “wealthy” wife and his better managed “financial affairs” give me the impression that Federigo lacks passion.
Rewritten sentence: He was married to the woman he loved, and she was also very rich. His situation motivated him to manage his money more wisely, and he had a happy life with her.
The second sentence tells the reader that Monna Giovanna “commended,” or praised, Federigo for the “greatness of his spirit” despite having “lost all hope of getting the falcon” and “improving the health of her son.” She also “reproached” (gently scolded) Federigo for killing the Falcon. These words show that Monna is a gentle and sensitive person, and yet she has a strong spirit. Many people in her situation would have lost control and shouted or wept in this situation. However, Monna praises and thanks Federigo for his “good will” and accepts her son’s fate.
Rewritten sentence: When she realized Federigo had killed the falcon, she gently scolded him. But secretly she thought that he had acted in an honorable manner, despite being poor. She thanked Federigo for his generosity to her. She was sad as she returned to her sick son because with the falcon dead, she had no hope of saving his life.
Answer:
B) Nature enriches us through memory even when we are far from it.
Explanation:
The question is from William Wordsworth's <em>I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud.</em> Wordsworth, being a romantic poet, appreciates the beauty and liveliness of nature. The major theme of the poem is the impact of nature on humans. The poet describes one of his solitary walks and his encounter with "A host, of golden daffodils". He describes the sight as, "Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
Wordsworth then says that he envisions the sight again in his mind whenever he feels lonely. Now, even though he isn't currently watching them, just the thought of them of remembering them, puts him in a state of nostalgia.
