Question

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

• A. Uneasily lies the head that wears a crown.
• B. Uneasy is the head wearing a crown.
• C. The head which wears the crown lies uneasy.
• D. The head which is wearing the crown lies uneasy.
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C The head which wears the crown lies uneasy.

Uneasily does not denote a state, which is requried in the context. 'Wearing a crown' denotes that the head is doing it, 'is wearing' denotes a continuous action, which is impossible, as the head cannot do it. Hence choice (C) restates the given sentence correctly.
