Which one of the following titles of Robert Browning's works means, 'to disport in the open
air, to amuse oneself at random?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
“Asolando” derives from the Italian verb associated with disporting in the open air or amusing oneself at random, explained by Browning in relation to Asolo. Jocoseria combines serious and playful senses, while Andrea del Sarto and Abt Vogler name the subjects of dramatic monologues. The definition therefore matches Asolando rather than those other titles.
