Question

Read the lines from "The Gardner" by Rabindranath Tagore.

With a glance of your eyes you could plunder all the wealth of songs struck
from poets’ harps, fair woman!
But for their praises you have no ear, therefore I come to praise you
You could humble at your feet the proudest heads in the world.

The use of apostrophe in the excerpt causes the reader to

gain insight into the speaker’s feelings for the woman.
imagine exactly what the harps would sound like.
think that the woman has very poor hearing.
visualize what the “proudest heads in the world” look like.

Answer 1

gain insight into the speaker’s feelings for the woman.

Explanation: Apostrophe lets the speaker directly address the woman ("fair woman!"), revealing admiration and emotion; it does not make the reader actually hear harps, imply hearing loss, or primarily create a visual of proud heads.
