Answer 1

Answer:

D. He is able to look on nature and hear the still sad music of humanity

In “Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey”, William Wordsworth reflects on how his experience of nature has changed with age. Though he no longer feels the wild ecstasy of youth, he finds a more mature, reflective, and deeper joy in nature.

He speaks of the “still, sad music of humanity”—a phrase that captures his greater understanding of life, including its sorrows, responsibilities, and spiritual depth.
