Question

6 multiple choice 1 point
read these lines from the poem:

nothing beside remains. round the decay
of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
the lone and level sands stretch far away.

what is the meaning of colossal as used in these lines? (v.1.3)
sad
small
massive
secluded

Explanation:

The lines describe the wreck of a large, monumental structure (from the context of the poem "Ozymandias"). "Colossal" here refers to the immense size of the wreck, which matches the definition of "massive". The other options do not fit: "sad" refers to emotion, "small" is the opposite, and "secluded" describes isolation, not size.

Answer:

massive
