Question

Where did Wordsworth spend his school days?

• A. Grasmere
• B. Alfoxden
• C. Hawkshead
• D. Cambridge

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Hawkshead

Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumbria, in 1770. After his mother's death, he was sent to Hawkshead Grammar School, where he received his early education. This period had a significant influence on his love for nature, which later became a central theme in his poetry.

• Grasmere – A place where Wordsworth lived later in life, but not where he studied.

• Alfoxden – The house where Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy lived while collaborating with Coleridge.

• Cambridge – Wordsworth attended St. John’s College, Cambridge, for higher education, but this was after his school days.
