Which detail about Wordsworth's childhood is included in the notes?

• A. He spent time outside as a child
• B. He spent most of his childhood indoors
• C. He grew up in a bustling city center
• D. He never visited his grandparents

Answer: (B)

The detail being tested is how the notes describe Wordsworth’s childhood background to help you interpret his poetry. The notes indicate that he spent most of his childhood indoors. This matters because it sets up a contrast with the abundant outdoor settings and nature imagery in his later poems, showing how his inner life and memory of nature can be shaped by quieter, indoor years. The other statements don’t fit what’s in the notes—there’s no emphasis on him growing up outdoors, in a busy city center, or never visiting his grandparents—so the indoors detail is the one the notes support.
