Answer 1

Answer: Hello! I’m pretty sure the answers are:

" "

&

" "

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these lines create a positive tone that expresses the beauty of nature.

“Lonely as a cloud” creates a sad mood. Not in awe.

“A crowd” doesn’t have much affect itself and is irrelevant to what you’re trying to find out.

“Beside the lake” also does not describe anything except for where the plant is. It is also irrelevant to the question.

However,

The word “golden” in the line “golden daffodils” expresses how he sees the plants. He finds them beautiful like gold.

Also, “fluttering and dancing” creates a very pretty picture of that plant, and shows how in awe he is.
