Answer 1

Answer:

A. By keeping their heads clear and avoiding ambition

• The poem suggests that ordinary people find happiness by living simple, unambitious lives, free from the burdens of wealth, fame, and power.

• Unlike those who constantly strive for status and recognition, these people avoid the corruption, stress, and struggles that come with ambition.

• By keeping their heads clear and focusing on their daily lives rather than chasing success, they experience a sense of peace and contentment that ambitious individuals may never achieve.
