The answer to Part A is 3: Embrace the discomfort that comes with traveling.

Explanation for Part A: The speaker in the poem encourages the traveler to be "careless" and to "utterly lose your way," suggesting that the traveler should embrace the uncertainty and discomfort that come with traveling. The speaker also mentions the "desolate triumph of losing all," which implies finding value in the experience of loss and discomfort.

Explanation for Part B: The two details from the poem that best support the correct answer from Part A are:

  1. "For once be careless, timid traveller, / and utterly lose your way" (Lines 1-2)
  2. "Let it / be stripped, with nothing remaining but / the desolate triumph of losing all." (Lines 11-13)

Explanation for Part B:

  • "For once be careless, timid traveller, / and utterly lose your way" (Lines 1-2): This line directly encourages the traveler to abandon caution and embrace the uncertainty of losing their way, which aligns with the idea of embracing discomfort.
  • "Let it / be stripped, with nothing remaining but / the desolate triumph of losing all." (Lines 11-13): This line suggests that there is a form of triumph or value in experiencing loss and desolation, further supporting the notion of embracing discomfort during travel.
