Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1798

Wordsworth wrote Tintern Abbey on July 13, 1798, during a walking tour with his sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, near the ruins of Tintern Abbey on the banks of the River Wye. It was later included in Lyrical Ballads (1798), the collection that marked the beginning of the Romantic Movement in English literature. The poem reflects on nature’s influence on the poet’s mind over time, contrasting his youthful experiences with his mature reflections.
