I need some serious help. In this excerpt, Shelley conveys the central idea that poetry
A. exists only in one's mind.
B. contains a wealth of facts.
C. expresses a universal truth.
D. describes a specific event.

c. expresses a universal truth.

Shelley says that poetry comes from the mind of the creator, which is linked to all other minds and all universal themes and ideas. Stories are just snippets of time that describe one event, but poetry is much bigger and broader than that.

that is based on your opinion not an answer someone can just give you unless you want to lie on your opinion. no offense wasn't trying to be rude. tip: use words like instead of don't put do not and you get what i mean
