Which line best paraphrases this excerpt from “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”?

And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more . . .
a.
And when I think that I’ll never see you again, beautiful creature . . .
b.
And when I feel like a fair creature, I’ll never see you again . . .
c.
Oh beautiful creature, I fear I will never see you again . . .
d.
It’s not fair that I will never see you again . . .

Answer 1

The line that best paraphrases the excerpt is A. And when I think that I’ll never see you again, beautiful creature (...).

To paraphrase is to express the meaning of something by rewording it in a different way. Both the excerpt and option A express the same: that the poet is considering the possibility of never looking at the beautiful "creature" again.
