The passage starts by stating that poetry is the language of the imagination and the passions, relating to whatever gives immediate pleasure or pain to the human mind. Thus, option A can be inferred from the first two lines of the passage Additionally, the passage mentions that poetry comes home to the bosoms and business of men, and only what comes home to them in the most general and intelligible shape can be a subject for poetry. This implies that poetry revolves around the general and intelligible feelings of the people, which corresponds to option B. Furthermore, the passage suggests that having contempt for poetry reflects a lack of respect for oneself and other things. This contradicts the idea that contempt for poetry and self-respect are mutually compatible, so option C is not accurate. Lastly, the passage implies that poetry relates to mankind's sense of beauty, power, and harmony, as seen in the examples of the motion of a wave of the sea and the growth of a flower. This aligns with option D, which states that poetry unavoidably relates to mankind's sense of beauty, power, and harmony. The correct option is B.
