(excerpt from “ode on a grecian urn” by john keats)

1: That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,

(excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats)

C: overly sentimental

“High-sorrowful” is extreme feeling of sadness while “cloyed” means sickened or some feelings of dizziness. These words are showing an atmosphere of an overly sentimental mood. The choice of these words is rightly suggestive of a feeling of extreme loneliness or mourning.

2: One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

(excerpt from “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron)

A: partially damaged

The pairing of “one… more” and “one… less” as well as the use of the word “half” show some kind of partial or incomplete thing. Moreover, the use of “impaired” which means damaged strengthens the meaning of the line to mean partially damaged.

3: What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?

(excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats)

B: reluctant or unwilling

There appears to be a confusion about the beings mentioned as either “men,” “gods,” or “maidens.” The action is about “pursuit” or running after something; but this is followed by the phrase “struggle to escape.” Thus, putting the meanings of the words by context, the appropriate meaning would be reluctant or unwilling.
