Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The poet wanted to take the boat near a craggy ridge, but the sudden appearance of the huge, black peak unnerved him. The more he rowed the boat, the bigger the peak seemed to become in front of him. Soon it seemed to move with a measured step like a living being towards the poet.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main theme of The Prelude by Wordsworth is that society is disappointing, but nature presents the solutions to the problems caused by society.
Detailed explanation-3: -A mountain by the lake grows far bigger than he thought it. He realises the monumental nature of the mountain and hurries back to shore, claiming that the experience has changed how he sees nature.
Detailed explanation-4: -In ‘The Prelude’, the persona fears nature, namely the mountain, which the speaker describes as “a huge peak, black and huge". The repetition of the adjective ‘huge’ reflects the persona’s temporary loss for words due to his immense fear of the mountain.
