Question

Read the excerpt from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
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.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

Which word does Wordsworth use to create an upbeat tone?

bay
crowd
twinkle
stretched

Answer 1

twinkle

"Twinkle" suggests bright, cheerful, lively light and helps create an upbeat, joyful tone.
