Answer 1

D. Seeing the daffodils made the speaker happy

Step-by-step explanation:

"Daffodils" or "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a short lyrical poem by William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850). Wordsworth is the most famous and typical romantic poet.

In this poem he describes the beauty of daffodils growing beside a lake. The poet feels very happy in the company of the daffodils.

"A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:"

He cherishes this experience and tell the readers that recalling this experience even long afterward in solitude will make him happy.

"For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils. "

So, it is happiness and pleasure which the poet or the speaker derives from daffodil flowers in this poem.
