"The speaker is content with his accomplishments and his place in the world" is the right answer choice, I just took the quiz with the other answer and got it wrong. On E2020

  • Correct option is:

The speaker is content with his accomplishments and his place in the world

That line belongs to T.S. Elliot’s longest poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” .

In this poem, the main character, Prufrock, is trying to gather the courage to ask a very important question to a woman. And he talks about how he has managed to adjust and adapt to the social standard of living of his circle. While he is debating asking or not the question, option that he ultimately declines, he wonders if by asking this question he would create an imbalance on the environment that he has adapted to.
