Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Excursion

Solution :

The correct option is Excursion.

The poetic line, “There is one great society alone on earth, the noble living and the noble dead,” is a celebrated quotation by the famous English Romantic poet, William Wordsworth.
This line encapsulates a major theme in Wordsworth's poetry: the spiritual and intellectual communion of humanity that transcends the boundaries of time and death. It suggests that individuals who lead noble lives, whether in the past or the present, belong to a single, unified community of mind and spirit.

In the framework of Wordsworth's poetical works, this philosophical concept is central to his long reflective poem, The Excursion (published in 1814), which was designed as the second part of his projected tripartite philosophical work, The Recluse.
