Question

What tone is not mentioned as part of the poem’s tone?

• A. Mystical
• B. Comedic
• C. Spiritual
• D. Exciting

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Comedic

Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey” carries a tone that is:

• Mystical – when he reflects on the deeper, almost transcendent power of nature.

• Spiritual – as he speaks of nature’s influence on his soul and moral being.

• Exciting – especially in the earlier parts, where he recalls the joy and energy of his youthful connection with nature.

However, the tone is never comedic. The poem is serious, reflective, and reverent — not humorous or playful in nature.
