The final stanza of "Dover Beach" at first appears to be positive by the appearance of words like "love," "dreams," and "beautiful." However, as the stanza continues, it becomes clear that the author does not have a positive outlook on the world. In fact, Matthew Arnold's opinion on the world is actually quite negative.
The stanza begins with the speaker saying that he and his lover should be true to one another. The speaker says that the world before them "seems" beautiful -- of course, appearances are often different from reality. He goes on to say the "beautiful" world before them is "like a land of dreams." Arnold is making the point that what is beautiful and new in the world is really just an illusion.
Instead, the speaker says, the world does not have joy, love, or light. Arnold has a dark vision of the world, indeed. Arnold goes on to say that everyone in this world exists "on a darkling plain" -- basically a dark pasture. Darkness is often equated with a lack of knowledge (for example, the Dark Ages). This land is full of "struggle and flight." Even worse, "ignorant armies" constantly do battle there.
By the end of the stanza, it is clear that Arnold sees the world as a dark place full of confusion, turmoil, and disorder. As a result, only option D. ("The world is a confusing and hostile place.") best characterizes Arnold's view of the world.

The chivalrous knights in this tale operate under strict moral codes of behavior. You will see these codes played out in the narrative.
In this story, King Arthur has a dream. In his dream, Gawain warns him not to fight Mordred. Arthur does fight Mordred, and he receives a mortal wound. He knows he is going to die. He asks his knight Bedivere to throw his magic sword into a lake. Bedivere places Arthur on a mysterious barge. The barge sails away. Bedivere then wanders through a forest until he comes across a hermit kneeling over a fresh grave. No one knows if this is actually the body of King Arthur. Because of this, some believe Arthur will return to be king.
