Question

in the poem \the latin deli: an ars poetica.\ which description suggests that the speaker is fond of the shopkeeper?
o the womans plump arms resting upon the counter
the womans \plain wide face\ and \ample bosom\
the womans look of maternal interest as others talk
the womans ageless appearance and lack of prettiness

Explanation:

A look of maternal interest implies a warm, caring, and affectionate perception. Maternal connotations often carry positive, fond feelings. The other descriptions (plump arms, plain face, ageless but not pretty) are more neutral or physical - trait based rather than indicative of fondness.

Answer:

the woman's look of maternal interest as others talk
