read the excerpt.

when a sedate content the spirit feels,
and no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals;
but silent musings urge the mind to seek
something, too high for syllables to speak;
till the free soul to a composedness charmed,
finding the elements of rage disarmed,
o’er all below a solemn quiet grown,
joys in the inferior world, and thinks it like her own …
in these lines from “a nocturnal reverie” by anne finch, how does the natural world charm the speaker to “composedness”?

the love she has of sunshine makes her focus on her surroundings.
the connection she feels with nature makes her spirit content.
the connection she feels to other people makes her long to be with family and friends.
the love she has of animals makes her forget her daytime cares.

B) The connection she feels with nature makes her spirit content.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "A Nocturnal Reverie" by Anne Finch, she describes being calm (composedness), with no disturbs, without feeling any rage, and with a joyful spirit. All these positive feelings are caused by the connection she feels with nature. Also, for the way she expresses herself, we can see that she is not only connected with nature, but also she is inspired by it.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
