Final answer:

In the second example, the quotations are smoothly integrated with the author's words while maintaining proper grammar and clarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second example, the quotations are smoothly integrated with the author's words while maintaining the grammatical structure of each sentence. Rather than plopping an entire sentence or line, the writer chose the most important phrases from the poem which illustrate the point they are attempting to make. They ensured that these quoted phrases flowed smoothly into their sentences by ensuring they were grammatically correct. Finally, it is clear where the writer's words end and Wordsworth's begin, and where Wordsworth's words begin and the writer's end, as evidenced through quotation marks and in-text parenthetical citations.
