Solution
The correct option is C lofty syntax
When compared to the other options, lofty syntax is the only choice that befits the context here. "There is no frigate like a book/ To take us lands away/ Nor any coursers like a page/ Of prancing poetry." Looking at this sentence taken from the poem, we note that it is a well structured sentence which uses literary devices like simile to beautifully convey something as simple as saying that through poetry we can travel to distant lands faster than we could through anything else. There is no humorous wordplay or awkward contrasts in the poem. Nor do we find an abundance of description or forceful actions. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
