Why does the poet consider himself to be fortunate ?

  • A.He has a rich banker father.
  • B.He doesn't have to light other peoples' doors.
  • C.He has light at night by his door.
  • D.He is strong and doesn't have to make a choice in life.

Answer: C

The poet thinks himself fortunate because he has light at night by his door.

The poem says, 'For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door; / And Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more'. The luck is the lamp at the door, which the lamplighter lights.

His father is a banker, but the poem does not give that as the reason for his luck. The poet wishes to go round lighting lamps with Leerie, so (2) is not what he says, and nothing is said about being strong enough to avoid choices.
