Explanation:

Question 7

The question asks about a dire offense from amorous causes. The line "Strange fits of passion have I known: / And I will dare to tell" relates to amorous/passionate causes and the offense (fits of passion) that springs from them. The other options: the first is about a philosophical truth, the second is about a baby’s beauty, not an offense from amorous causes.

Enjambment is a poetic device where a sentence or phrase runs over from one line to the next without a pause. The line "And doth with his eternal motion make / A sound like thunder - everlastingly" has the thought continuing from the first line to the second without a natural pause at the end of the first line. The other options have a pause (end of a clause/thought) at the end of the first line. For example, the first option ends with "drear," and the next line starts a new description; the second ends with "asleep;" and the next line starts a new thought.

Answer:

C. Strange fits of passion have I known: / And I will dare to tell. (Assuming the third option is C; adjust identifier if needed, e.g., if options are A, B, C: C. Strange fits of passion have I known: / And I will dare to tell.)
