Read the poem.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
by William Butler Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
 
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
 
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

What does the alliterative phrase "lake water lapping with low sounds" indicate?

A. The shore of the isle is rocky and noisy.

B. The isle is on a quiet and gentle lake.

C. The shore of the isle is gentle but loud.

D. The isle is on a small, but busy lake.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

It is D because low sounds indicates that it is not too loud. Also, lake water lapping shows that it is moving meaning that it is a little busy. So, this combines to make small but busy lake.
