What is the setting of William Wordsworth's poem "The Solitary Reaper"?

The Scottish Highlands
A forest in Wales
A desolate valley
An English garden

The correct answer is: The Scottish Highlands

"The Solitary Reaper" is one of William Wordsworth's most popular poems and is known for its vivid depiction of the Scottish Highlands. Each verse paints a picture of the beautiful and remote landscape, with references to the mountains, the sky, and the solitary reaper in the field. The other options, a forest in Wales, a desolate valley, and an English garden, do not align with the descriptions of the setting in the poem. The poem's setting is essential to the overall mood and theme of the poem, highlighting the beauty and peacefulness of nature. Thus, the option A The Scottish Highlands, is the correct answer.
