Read the lines from "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought

What is the connotation of the word wealth as it is used in this context?

a large amount of money
a powerful man or woman
pretty flowers
great beauty

"I wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a lyric poem written by English poet William Wordsworth and first published in 1807 in "Poems in Two Volumes". The poem was inspired by an entry done in the diary of Dorothy, William's sister, about a walk they both had near Ullswater, in the Lake district.

The correct answer is option d. The connotation of the word wealth as it is used in the context of the poem i of great beauty. "What wealth the show to me had brought" is a reference on the beauty that the whole experience had brought to the speaker.
