In the line, 'with the wonderful water round you curled', the word 'curled' means :

  • A.arched
  • B.surrounded
  • C.mounted
  • D.turbulent

Answer: B

Here curled means surrounded.

The poet addresses the world: 'With the wonderful water round you curled'. The water of the seas and oceans is pictured as curled round the Earth, wrapping and encircling it, so the sense is that water surrounds the world.

Arched describes a curved shape but not enclosing something. Mounted means climbed onto or fixed in place. Turbulent describes rough, disturbed water, which says nothing about its position round the world and is not the meaning of curled.
