Question

Read the excerpt.

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, what does the speaker refer to when she says “the inferior world”?

the world beyond the grave

Answer 1

''the simpler way of life''


In the lines  from “A Nocturnal Reverie” by Anne Finch represented above, the most suitable option that reveals the real sense of the speaker's reference using such words as “the inferior world” is definitely the third one- ''the simpler way of life''. This option looks the only correct for me, so I am pretty sure that you will get the points if you use this one. Do hope you still need it.

Answer 2

the simpler way of life
