Read the stanzas from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

What is the effect of describing the daffodils as "continuous as the stars that shine" (line 7)?

A) It adds to the image of the flowers being everywhere.
B) It contrasts the golden flowers with the silver that shines.
C) It paints a picture of the stars being in a flower shape.
D)It shows that the flowers grow in every season of the year.

Answer:

A) it adds to the image of the flowers being everywhere

Step-by-step explanation:

The line gives the reader that there are so many Daffodils growing everywhere

the word "continuously" means endless or forever which emphasizes the garden full of flowers comparison with the stars that filled the milky way.

Hope it helps!
