Discussion
Emerson said that the poet was landlord, Sealord, airlord. The flight of imagination made the poet master of land, sea and air. But a poet's dream of yesterday becomes today an actual achievement and a reality for all men. Even those who invented, improved and perfected the aeroplane could hardly have dreamt of the possibility of flight into outer space.
The passage best supports the statement that:
Answer: B
Correct answer: what man imagined has never been impossible; he has always turned it a reality through his conception of ideas and sheer hard labour.
The passage traces one line: the poet imagines mastery of land, sea and air; a poet’s dream of yesterday becomes today an actual achievement; and flight, once imagined, was built and then surpassed by flight into space.
So imagination is presented as the first step towards achievement, not as a test of poetic skill and not as a claim that every imagining comes true - the passage speaks of what has been realised, not of everything conceivable.
