In “the rime of the ancient mariner,” why does the wedding guest listen to the mariner’s tale? (1 point) he can’t himself. the wedding has been delayed. he does not want togo to the wedding. the mariner is holding him by the arm.

The correct answer is the first statement. In the poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, wedding guest listens to the mariner’s tale because he can’t help himself which is stated through lines: “The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone:/ He cannot chose but hear;/ And thus spake on that ancient man,/ The bright-eye Mariner.”
