b) both make use of visual images.
c) both detail the delight that nature can inspire.
d) both recognize the potential for nature to be deadly.

D - Both recognize the potential for nature to be deadly.

In Wordsworth's poem - I wandered as lonley as a cloud, he delights in the beauty of nature even long after he has enjoyed it - he does not mention anything deadly in this poem.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

"valley of salt tears" and "dark, deep and foggy" are two images used to establish a mood of uncertainty and regret. this imagery is made up of sensory appeals to brings up   theological concerns of sin and retribution.

they conjure up the human   uncertainty about the divine and its relationship to the world.
