Read the following lines from Wordsworth's poem and answer the question.

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

Which phrase can you use as a clue to determine the meaning of the word "sprightly"?

stars that shine
ten thousand saw I
tossing their heads
twinkle on the milky way

Answer 1

Tossing their heads

Step-by-step explanation:

"sprightly" meanings like an elderly person dancing or lively and suddenly movements.

Basically choose the one that's like moving or dancing.

-I know it's not "stars that shine" because i don't think stars dance or really move in those ways

-I know "ten thousand saw i" honestly has nothing to do with move at all

-I know "twinkle on the milky way" is so not the answer it just sounds like someone decided to go potty on the milky way:/
