Answer 2

I love Wordsworth :) In this poem, he is not really asserting that heaven is better, as he does not mention heaven or the afterlife. So, the answer is not A, and it cannot be D. That leaves B and C. Let's consider the poem. One line in the poem mentions "getting and spending," and is followed by "Little we see in Nature that is ours," which suggests that people are spending their time and money on frivolous, material things when they could be spending their time appreciating the natural world around them. This suggests that B is the more proper answer. I hope this helps.
