Answer 1

Answer:

B. His sister Dorothy

In Tintern Abbey, Wordsworth directly addresses his sister, expressing his deep bond with her and his hope that she will continue to find joy and inspiration in nature. The poem’s closing lines show his affection and guidance for her:

"My dear, dear Sister! and this prayer I make,
Knowing that Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her."

Dorothy played a crucial role in Wordsworth’s life and poetic inspiration, often accompanying him on his travels and keeping detailed journals.
