Explanation:

Part A

To determine how Blackwell was determined to accomplish her goals, we analyze the excerpt. The text says she pursued her goals "in the light of day, and with public sanction", meaning she didn't want to use deception (disguise was tempting but she rejected it). So she was determined without deception? Wait, no—wait, the options: Let's re - read. The excerpt says "neither the advice to go to Paris nor the suggestion of disguise tempted me... it must be pursued in the light of day, and with public sanction". So "public sanction" implies doing it openly, without deception. Wait, no, the question is "in what way was Blackwell determined to accomplish her goals?". The options are A without criticism, B without attention, C without hesitation, D without deception. Since she rejected disguise (which is a form of deception) and wanted to do it in the light of day with public sanction, she was determined without deception. Wait, but let's check again. The key is that she didn't use deception (disguise) and wanted public sanction (approval), so she did it without deception. So the correct option is D.

To find the phrase that clues the meaning of "public sanction", we look at the context. The phrase "in the light of day" and the rejection of "disguise" are related, but the phrase "the advice to go to Paris"—wait, no, the relevant phrase is "in the light of day" and "without disguise", but the option given is "the advice to go to Paris"? Wait, no, the question is "Which phrase from the excerpt provides a clue to the meaning of the phrase public sanction?". The excerpt says "it must be pursued in the light of day, and with public sanction" and "neither the advice to go to Paris nor the suggestion of disguise tempted me". Wait, "in the light of day" suggests openness, and "public sanction" would be related to doing things openly, not in disguise. But the phrase given as an option (from the image) is "the advice to go to Paris"? Wait, no, maybe the key is that "public sanction" is about doing things with public approval, and the phrase "in the light of day" (but the option is "the advice to go to Paris"? Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the user's image for Part B: "Which phrase from the excerpt provides a clue to the meaning of the phrase public sanction? A 'the advice to go to Paris'". Wait, no, let's think about context. "Public sanction" means public approval or permission. The fact that she rejected disguise and wanted to do it "in the light of day" (openly) with public sanction. But the phrase "the advice to go to Paris"—wait, maybe the connection is that "public sanction" is about doing things in a way that is acceptable to the public, and "the advice to go to Paris" was an alternative, but no. Wait, the correct approach is: "public sanction" is about doing something with public approval, and the phrase "in the light of day" (but the option is "the advice to go to Paris"? Wait, no, maybe the answer is "the advice to go to Paris" is not, but wait, the relevant phrase is "in the light of day" and "without disguise", but the option given is "the advice to go to Paris". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the key is that "public sanction" is related to doing things openly, and the phrase "the advice to go to Paris"—no, perhaps the correct phrase is "in the light of day", but the option is "the advice to go to Paris". Wait, maybe the intended answer is "the advice to go to Paris" is not, but according to the problem, the phrase "the advice to go to Paris"—wait, no, let's re - evaluate. The phrase "public sanction" means doing something with the approval of the public. The fact that she didn't take the advice to go to Paris (which might be a way to avoid public scrutiny) and instead wanted to do it with public sanction. So "the advice to go to Paris" is a contrast—she rejected that advice (to go to Paris, maybe to avoid public attention) and chose to do it with public sanction, so "the advice to go to Paris" clues that "public sanction" is about not avoiding public attention, doing it openly. So the phrase "the advice to go to Paris" provides a clue because she rejected that advice (which might be a way to bypass public sanction) and chose to do it with public sanction.
