Question

select the correct text in the passage. read this excerpt from \the lady of shalott\ by alfred, lord tennyson. which line marks the climax in the poem? his broad clear brow in sunlight glowd; on burnishd hooves his war horse trode; from underneath his helmet flowd his coal - black curls as on he rode, as he rode down to camelot. from the bank and from the river he flashd into the crystal mirror, \tirra lirra,\ by the river sang sir lancelot. she left the web, she left the loom, she made three paces thro the room, she saw the water lily bloom, she saw the helmet and the plume, she lookd down to camelot. out flew the web and floated wide; the mirror crackd from side to side; \the curse is come upon me,\ cried the lady of shalott.

Explanation:

The climax of a poem is the turning point where the central conflict reaches its peak. In The Lady of Shalott, the Lady is cursed to never look directly at Camelot or its inhabitants, only seeing them through a mirror. When she actively chooses to look down at Camelot directly, this breaks the curse and sets the tragic final events in motion, marking the story's highest point of tension.

Answer:

She look'd down to Camelot.
