4 A standard ticket for the Neesing Metro System costs SIO and is valid for unlimited travel on the system for the whole of the day it is bought. Also available are a 3-day ticket for $15 and a 7-day ticket for $30. These tickets are valid for 3 or 7 consecutive days respectively, starting from the day of purchase. This table shows the number of tickets sold during the first two weeks of last month. Date 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th Standard tickets 523 641 506 593 674 549 729 763 602 518 675 549 510 734 3-day tickets 288 307 382 311 326 355 394 337 323 7-day tickets 173 158 212 191 170 183 192 218 189 170 196 183 162 205 (a) Explain how it can be deduced, without calculation, that the total income from ticket sales was greater on the 8th than on any other day during the first two weeks of last month.

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.
