C). Lonely.

Explanation:

Wordsworth is known for his use of diction and style that helps create the desired tone and mood in his poetry. In the given excerpt from "The Daffodils" or "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", the words 'vacant' and 'pensive' constitute a 'lonely' tone in the poem that this solitude help him realize his achievement(gains) from the experience as he could now sense the 'pleasure fills' and enjoy 'bliss of solitude' and experience the 'beauty of nature' with 'an inward eye'. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
