Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:
(i) Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in
between A and B.
(ii) There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.
Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent?
Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.

Poem Daffodils Its Explanations
Explain the poem "The Daffodils" (or "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud") by Wordsworth and its central idea.
"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is about someone who is wandering alone feeling unhappy, until he walks along a lake next to a field of daffodils. The daffodils blow with the breeze and are reflected in the water, and this beautiful sight comforts the speaker, who vows to remember this peaceful moment whenever he is upset again. The central idea of the poem is that the loveliness of nature can be healing and help to ease the burdens in our lives.

At the beginning of the poem, the speaker is feeling lonely and sad. As he walks along, he sees a large area of daffodils along the side of a lake, blowing in the breeze with bright yellow flowers reflected in the water in spite of the waves due to the wind. The sight of the flowers on the shore and their reflection cheers him greatly. To the poet, these flowers are not just pretty, but cheerful and joyous company that brings him out of his loneliness. Best of all, the poet finds that the memory of the sight of the daffodils stays with him, giving him companionship and joy when he is "in vacant or in pensive mood."

Solution:
There are so many undefined terms which should be listed they are consistent because they deal with two different situations which are as follows:
1.
If two points A and B are given then there exist a third point C which is in between A and B.
2.
If two points A and B are given then we can take a point C which do not lie on the line passing through the points A and B . Thus these points do not contradict each other.
These postulates do not follow Euclid's postulates. However they follow axiom. Euclid postulate 1 axiom states that through two distinct points there is a unique lines that passes through them
Here is your solution...!!!
