    The correct answer is d. ('Twere better than the cold reality Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,)

    Enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence. It doesn't have a pause. So the correct answer is d. ('Twere better than the cold reality Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,). These other choices are all wrong: a. (Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!)

    b. (My spirit not awakening, till the beam

    Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.)

    c. (Yes! tho' that long dream were of hopeless sorrow,)
