Question

read the quotation from \the author to her book\.
\i cast thee by as one unfit for light,
thy visage was so irksome in my sight;
yet being mine own, at length affection would
thy blemishes amend, if so i could\
in this excerpt, bradstreet uses the word visage to express the idea that
she felt her writing was perfect to all. she was not happy with her writing’s appearance.
her writing was beautiful to look at. her writing had the appearance of a child.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of the quote. The word "Visage" means appearance. The line "Thy Visage was so irksome in my sight" and later "Thy blemishes amend" show she was dissatisfied with her writing's appearance. Let's check each option:

• Option 1: "perfect to all" contradicts "irksome" and "blemishes", so wrong.
• Option 2: "not happy with her writing’s appearance" matches the context (irksome, blemishes to amend).
• Option 3: "beautiful to look at" contradicts "irksome", wrong.
• Option 4: The quote doesn't compare writing to a child's appearance, wrong.

Answer:

B. she was not happy with her writing’s appearance.
