• A. to show him the path to glory
• B. to sing only for him
• C. to teach him the secret of happiness
• D. to accompany him on his journeys

Answer 1

Answer:

C. to teach him the secret of happiness

• The poem "To a Skylark" is written by famous English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.

"Teach me half the gladness

That thy brain must know,

Such harmonious madness

From my lips would flow

The world should listen then, as I am listening now."

• The poet, therefore, makes a final request to the skylark to teach him at least the secret of its happiness in that case he could sing as if he were mad with Joy, and then the harmony would be so enchanting that the whole world would listen to him as he is listening to the bird now.
