Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. 'No Second Troy', 'Lapis Lazuli', 'Easter, 1916', 'When You Are Old'

Explanation

'When You Are Old' (1893), 'No Second Troy' (1910), 'Easter, 1916' and 'Lapis Lazuli' (1938) are all by Yeats. Each other set contains an outsider: Arnold's 'Sohrab and Rustum', 'The Home-Coming' (not a Yeats poem), and Rossetti's sonnet sequence The House of Life.

Note: The source prints 'Death of Sohrab' in option 1; Arnold's poem is 'Sohrab and Rustum'.
