Solution

Dear student,

In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the albatross was welcomed by the sailors on board and was called the Christian soul. It was hailed in God's name because it appeared out of nowhere. It seemed like a saviour to the mariners. After the arrival of the albatross, the icebergs started to crack, making way for the ship to move forward.

Regards
