Answer 1

The correct answer is (e). English poet William Blake maintained that imagination was the only medicine that humankind had for the pain of isolation. He believed that imagination, even though belongs to every one of us, is the greater force which can’t be controlled (in a positive way). William Blake said: “The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself”.
