Answer 2

"Reaction of ultimate shaking grief was (1) disproportionate to the loss and (3) according to his exposure and experience then"

Explanation:

                   Once a boy was playing with his ball. It was bumping in the street up and down. The boy was joyfully enjoying the game. While bouncing, immediately it fell in the water and was lost.

Without the ball the boy became completely misery. The poet said that there are other balls. He could purchase another since it was not a great defeat. There was no need to anguish. Since, the boy had that ball for a long time so he was greatly grieved due to his attachment with it. It was linked to his memories. The poet thought that it is of no use to purchase another ball. He should feel his responsibility of the loss.
