The line "and silent isle imbowers" shows how vastly different the Lady of Shalott's world is from that of Camelot. Camelot was the center of everything, with Knights coming and going, tons of people living and working there. You can imagine that it's a loud, active city. In contrast, the Lady's island is the opposite. First of all, the image of an 'isle' shows that it is isolated from areas around it, unlike Camelot. Secondly, silence is not something that describes Camelot. Also, differing from the freedom to come and go from Camelot, the Lady is "imbowered" (which means trapped or imprisoned) in her tower.
This image of a single person living in a tower on a silent island could not be more wildly different from the image of Camelot at the time.

And silent isle imbowers

The Lady of Shalott.

What is "The Lady of Shalott" about?The narrative poem "The Lady of Shalott" is often explained as being a metaphor for the loneliness of an artist's life. The Lady of Shalott is a woman who, after being cursed, must live in a tower. She cannot look outside through the window. She must only see the reflection of the landscape in a mirror.Her little world is confined to the four gray walls that surround her. It is a world of silence, of loneliness. Camelot, which she can see in the reflection, is open and bursting with life. In other words, the two worlds are complete opposites.The line that best shows that is found in option B:

Four gray walls, and four gray towers,

Overlook a space of flowers,

And silent isle imbowers

The Lady of Shalott.
