Question

this may be true or it may be false—who can say?—but what is true in it, so it seemed to me, reviewing the story of shakespeare’s sister as i had made it, is that any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at.

what is the author’s perspective on the topic?
women were unfairly discriminated against.
which phrase from the passage reveals the author’s perspective?
“so it seemed to me”
“in the sixteenth century”
“feared and mocked”

Explanation:

To determine the phrase revealing the author’s perspective, we analyze each option:

• "so it seemed to me" indicates the author’s personal view or interpretation of the situation, showing subjectivity in their perspective.
• "in the sixteenth century" is just a time reference, not related to perspective.
• "feared and mocked" describes the treatment of women but doesn’t show the author’s perspective.

Answer:

"so it seemed to me"
