How long has it been since the speaker last visited Tintern Abbey?

AThree years

BFive years

CSeven years

DTen years

Answer:

B. Five years

Read Explanation:

In Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, often referred to simply as Tintern Abbey, William Wordsworth explicitly states that five years have passed since his last visit to the location. This is mentioned in the opening lines of the poem:

"Five years have past; five summers, with the length of five long winters!"

This line establishes the passage of time and sets the reflective tone of the poem. The speaker returns to Tintern Abbey after half a decade, reminiscing about his past experiences there and observing how his perception of nature has changed over time. Initially, as a young man, he experienced nature with intense passion and excitement, but now he appreciates it with a deeper, more spiritual understanding.
