Read this excerpt from “Eavesdropping” and answer the question. Just as, of course, it [getting my distance] was an initial step when, in my first journalism job, I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera. Frame, proportion, perspective, the values of light and shade, all are determined by the distance of the observing eye.

What is the figurative language used in the above excerpt and what comparison does it best create?

“it [getting my distance] was an initial step when”; it was the beginning
“I stumbled onto making pictures”; discovered pictures accidentally
“I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera”; a camera was found
“it [getting my distance] was an initial step when . . . I stumbled”; making pictures was a mistake

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills, when all at once i saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze. continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way. they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance. the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay. in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils.
