read the poem below and answer the question that follows

with heads high
with ears forward
with eyes watchful
with hooves always placed on firm ground
in whose limbs there is latent flight

(wordsworth, “she dwelt among the untrodden ways”) which option explains a meaning implied by the use of the adjective untrodden in the excerpt? the maid was lost in the woods. the maid lived in a rural setting. the maid was a nature spirit. the maid suffered a life without joy.
