Question

1. when did emily dickinson gain fame for her collection of nearly 1,800 poems?

after her death, when her sister insisted on publishing the work
after sharing her work with her contemporary walt whitman
after following the advice of her mentor thomas wentworth higginson
after attending the excellent mount holyoke female seminary

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson was a reclusive poet who wrote many poems but was not widely known during her lifetime. After her death, her sister Lavinia discovered her large collection of poems and insisted on publishing them, which is when Dickinson gained fame for her work. The other options are incorrect: she had limited interaction with Walt Whitman, her mentor's advice didn't lead to immediate fame, and attending the seminary was part of her education, not when she gained fame for her poems.

Answer:

after her death, when her sister insisted on publishing the work
