Question

i am listless, i am a wanderer in my heart.
in the sunny haze of the languid hours, what vast
vision of thine takes shape in the blue of the
sky!
o farthest end, o the keen call of thy flute!
i forget, i ever forget, that the gates are shut
everywhere in the house where i dwell alone!
-“5,”
rabindranath tagore
which phrase most directly states the speakers
feelings?
○ “i am listless, i am a wanderer in my heart.”
○ “o farthest end, o the keen call of thy flute!”
○ “... the gates are shut everywhere...”

Explanation:

To determine the phrase that most directly states the speaker’s feelings, we analyze each option:

• The first option, “I am listless, I am a wanderer in my heart,” explicitly describes the speaker’s emotional state (listless, a wanderer in heart).
• The second option refers to a call of a flute, which is more about an external call than direct feelings.
• The third option describes the gates being shut, which is about the physical environment, not direct feelings.

So the first option directly states the speaker’s feelings.

Answer:

A. "I am listless, I am a wanderer in my heart."
