In the sentence Ten thousand saw I at a glance, the phrase Ten thousand has been .............. .
Answer: A
The phrase has been Foregrounded.
In Wordsworth's line 'Ten thousand saw I at a glance', the normal order would be 'I saw ten thousand at a glance'. Moving the object Ten thousand to the front of the sentence (inversion) makes it prominent. In stylistics, giving an element such prominence by deviating from the expected pattern is called foregrounding.
Reduplication repeats a word or part of one (bye-bye), blending fuses two words (smog), and clipping shortens a word (phone); none happens here.
