Question

How does the speaker view the lives of ordinary people compared to those in elite society?

• A. Ordinary people lead more glamorous lives than the elite
• B. Ordinary people have less troubled lives
• C. Elite society members have fewer problems than ordinary people
• D. Ordinary people are often more respected than those in elite society

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ordinary people have less troubled lives

• The speaker suggests that while ordinary people may not achieve fame, power, or wealth, they also avoid the burdens and troubles that come with such privileges.

• Unlike the elite, who often face corruption, stress, and moral struggles, regular people live simpler and more peaceful lives.

• The poem ultimately celebrates humble, anonymous lives rather than viewing them as unfortunate or lacking fulfillment.
