Question

select the correct text in the passage.
which line in the excerpt from ulysses by alfred, lord tennyson exposes the attitude of the victorians toward idle people?
it little profits that an idle king.
by this still hearth, among these barren crags,
matchd with an aged wife, i mete and dole
unequal laws unto a savage race,
that hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
i cannot rest from travel; i will drink
life to the lees. all times i have enjoyed
greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
that loved me, and alone; on shore, and when
through scudding drifts the rainy hyades
vexed the dim sea: i am become a name;
for always roaming with a hungry heart
much have i seen and known - cities of men
and manners, climates, councils, governments,
myself not least, but honoured of them all -

Explanation:

To determine the line exposing the Victorians' attitude toward idle people, we analyze each line. The line "It little profits that an idle king" suggests that being an idle (unproductive) king is of little value, reflecting the Victorian view that idleness is not beneficial. Other lines focus on travel, experiences, or governing a savage race, not on the attitude toward idle people.

Answer:

It little profits that an idle king
