During the first year that Mr. Wordsworth and I were neighbours, our conversation turned frequently on the two cardinal pointsof poetry, the power of exciting the sympathy of the reader by a faithful adherence to the truth of nature and the power ofgiving the interest of novelty by the modifying colours of imagination. The sudden charm, which accidents of light and shade,which moonlight or sunset diffused, over a known and familiar landscape, appeared to represent the practicability ofcombining both. These are the poetry of nature. The thought suggested itself that a series of poems might be composed oftwo sorts. In the one, the incidents agents were to be, in part at least, supernatural; and the excellence aimed at was toconsist in the interesting of the affections by the dramatic truth of such emotions, as would naturally accompany suchsituations, supposing them real. And real in the sense they have been to every human being who, from whatever source ofdelusion, has at any time believed himself under supernatural agency. For the second class, subjects were to be chosen fromordinary life; the characters and incidents were to be such as will be found in every village and its vicinity, where there is ameditative and feeling mind to seek after them or to notice them, when they present themselves.
In this idea originated the plan of "Lyrical Ballads" in which it was agreed, that my endeavours should be directed to personsand characters supernatural, or at least romantic; yet so as to transfer from our inward nature a human interest and asemblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment,which constitutes poetic faith. Mr. Wordsworth, on the other hand, was to propose to himself as his object, to give the charmof novelty to things of everyday and to excite a feeling analogous to the supernatural, by awakening the mind's attention tothe lethargy of custom and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of the world before us; an inexhaustible treasure, butfor which, in consequence of the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude, we have eyes, yet see not, ears that hear not, andhearts that neither feel nor understand.
Q1:The dialogue between the author and Mr. Wordsworth usually centred around
(a) the sympathy which the reader feels for the poet. (b) importance of adhering to the truth of nature. (c) contribution of imagination to poetic creation. (d) the most prominent characteristic of poetry.
Q2:According to the author, despite having senses people fail to enjoy beauty because of the fact that
(a) beauty is in the eyes of the viewer. (b) they spend most of their time alone. (c) Only a poetic mind can appreciate it. (d) the things which are out of sight are often out of mind.
Q3:Which of the following is referred to as unending wealth?
(a) Loveliness and wonders of the world. (b) Familiarity with nature's objects. (c) Selfless inner vision. (d) Control over senses.
Q4:According to the passage, the author and Mr. Wordsworth differed in their
(a) ideas of the two cardinal points of poetry. (b) perceptions of the supernatural objects. (c) choice of subject matter. (d) plans for the organisation of "Lyrical Ballads".

Hello, mayurmb. You may want to post the passage and corresponding questions in a more official manner to get a dialogue going. You can read more about this process in this post on, well, posting questions in the Verbal forum. It is unclear from the current post whether you need help with these specific questions for some reason--e.g., have you attempted them, read the explanations for the answers, and still do not understand the logic behind them?--or whether you need help with RC in general.
Good luck with your studies.
