Attempt FIVE questions in all. Question No. 1 is COMPULSORY and attempt TWO questions from each section. All questions carry equal marks.
1. Explain with reference to the context any THREE of the following:

God's works;
(ii) ... And I have felt 
A presence that disturbs me with joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime ....
(iii) Two roads, diverged in a wood and I, 
I took the one less traveled by 
And that has made all the difference. 
(iv) That's my Duchess painted on the wall
Looking as if she were alive; I call
That piece of wonder, now:
(v) Ever let the fancy roam
Pleasure never is at home:

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. 
And then is heard no more.
