Now look carefully at those same lines: if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, the word bear is not necessary. the lines would still make sense if they read: if you can hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

why do you think the poet specifically included the word bear in the line

a: the poet wants to inspire the reader, and cause him to think that he will be able to change the world.

b: the poet wants to soothe the reader, and convince him that it will be easy to follow his advice.

c: the poet wants to emphasize that the person who follows his advice must have great strength of character.

d: the poet wants to challenge the reader, and is daring the reader to follow his advice.

Explanation:

I wonder what you think the answer is? It would be interesting to find that out. Poetry is the exercise of precise language.

Bear adds the extra dimension of personally being able to stand the truth, particularly when when knaves have used that truth to trap fools. Can you take it when you know that?

I don't think these lines lead you to conclude A is the Answer. This had to do with hearing the truth. Just hearing it is going to be hard enough, never mind acting on it.

The poet is not trying to soothe the reader. He's trying to say that the truth has been twisted, and just hearing it is going to be a chore.

I think C is likely true, but we lack evidence for it.

I would pick D, but it is the best choice of a very poor lot. That's why I'd like to know what you think. If you have a different answer, go with it.
