Question

read the quotation from \that i did always love.\
that i did always love
i bring thee proof
that till i loved
i never lived—enough—
what is the effect of the use of the word enough in this quotation?
○ it shows the speaker’s insecurity about love.
○ it emphasizes the speaker’s desperation
○ it reveals the speaker’s profound emotion toward her love.
○ it creates an ironic tone that continues in the rest of the poem.

Explanation:

In the poem “That I did always love,” the line “I never lived—Enough—” with the word “enough” emphasizes the depth of the speaker's feelings. Before loving, the speaker felt their life lacked fullness, and love has now given a profound sense of being truly alive. Option A is incorrect as there's no indication of insecurity. Option B is wrong as “enough” here is about depth of love, not desperation. Option D is incorrect as the tone isn't ironic; it's sincere about the impact of love. So the word “enough” reveals the speaker’s profound emotion toward her love.

Answer:

C. It reveals the speaker’s profound emotion toward her love
