The speaker of "The World IsToo Much with Us" believes that if he were a pagan, he would be?

d.  more responsive to nature.

Explanation:

William Wordsworth's poem "The World Is Too Much With Us" is a take on what worldly life is all about. The poet believes that worldly things have made men distanced from nature.

In lines 9 and 10, the speaker exclaims: "Great God! I’d rather be

A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;

So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,

Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn"

This shows that he would want to be less worldly so that he will be more responsive to nature and its beauty. Rather than be worldly and forget nature, he wants to be detached from it all, desiring to be a pagan instead.

Thus, the correct answer is option d.

the right answer is 6

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
