What is the main theme in “Ode: Intimations of Immortality” by William Wordsworth?

Inner strength
Nostalgia
Hope
Innocence

The correct answer is: Nostalgia

"Ode Intimations of Immortality" by William Wordsworth primarily focuses on the theme of nostalgia. This is evident throughout the poem as Wordsworth reflects on his childhood and memories of innocence and joy. Option A, inner strength, is incorrect as the speaker in the poem is not focused on building inner strength but rather reminiscing on the past. Option C, hope, is not the main theme as the poem does not revolve around a sense of hope or optimism, but instead on the melancholic feeling of longing for the past. Option D, innocence, is also not the main theme as the speaker in the poem is not solely focused on innocence but rather on the loss of it through the passage of time.
