Question

how are the speakers senses of self - esteem similar in \a thought on the inestimable blessing of reason\ and \deliverance from another sore fit\?
in both poems, the speakers express humility before a larger and greater force.
in both poems, the speakers express a great deal of pride.
in both poems, the speakers express great doubt as to their abilities.
in both poems, the speakers consider themselves insignificant.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the themes of the two poems. "A Thought on the Inestimable Blessing of Reason" and "Deliverance From Another Sore Fit" (by Anne Bradstreet) often involve the speakers recognizing a higher power (like God) and expressing humility before that greater force. The option about pride is incorrect as the tone is not prideful. Doubt about abilities or considering themselves insignificant is not the main similarity; rather, humility before a larger force (God, divine reason) is consistent.

Answer:

A. In both poems, the speakers express humility before a larger and greater force.
