Answer 2

1)The words glee and company use rhyme to express Wordsworth's feelings.

3)I gazed—and gazed—but little thought uses repetition for emphasis. 4)Alliteration is used in the phrase dances with the daffodils.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poet is very happy and satisfied in the poem, he is amazed by everything he is observing and thinking and that rejoices him. To show his state of mind at that moment, the poet decided to use the words "glee" and "company" in a rhyme, generating harmony in the text and showing his satisfaction.

We can see that the author uses repetition in the line "I gazed — and gazed — but little thought". This figure of speech allows the repetition of words on the same line to emphasize a concept and a message.

We can also see the use of alliteration, where the poet uses words with the same semantic relationship, also aiming at emphasizing a concept or idea.
