Who wrote the poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey"?

  1. John Keats

  2. Lord Byron

  3. William Wordsworth

  4. George Gordon

The correct answer is: William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth wrote the poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey". This can be inferred by the title of the poem itself, as well as the fact that Wordsworth was a poet of the Romantic era who often wrote about nature and the importance of memories and emotions. Option A, John Keats, was also a Romantic poet but he is best known for his Odes and sonnets, not for writing about specific places like Tintern Abbey. Option B, Lord Byron, was also a Romantic poet but he is known for his works such as "Don Juan" and "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", not for writing about nature or specific places. Option D, George Gordon, is another name for Lord Byron. Therefore, all of the other options are incorrect and the correct answer is C, William Wordsworth.
