Answer 1

Answer:

B. Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798

The full title of Wordsworth’s poem commonly known as Tintern Abbey is "Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798." This lengthy title reflects the poem’s setting and occasion, as Wordsworth revisits the Wye Valley after five years, contemplating nature’s impact on his mind and soul. Though the poem does not focus directly on Tintern Abbey, the landmark became associated with it over time, leading to its shortened name. The other options are incorrect because they either generalize the theme or misrepresent the poem’s form
