From the article, What is Love?, which of the following words best describes the nun’s explanation of love in the following passage?

Love is more easily experienced than defined. As a theological virtue, by which we love God above all things and our neighbours as ourselves for his sake, it seems remote until we encounter it enfleshed, so to say, in the life of another—in acts of kindness, generosity and self-sacrifice. Love’s the one thing that can never hurt anyone, although it may cost dearly. The paradox of love is that it is supremely free yet attaches us with bonds stronger than death. It cannot be bought or sold; there is nothing it cannot face; love is life’s greatest blessing.

Answer:

b- poetic

Step-by-step explanation:

The nun's definition of love is poetic for she uses emotional and also imaginative language. "The paradox of love is that it is supremely free yet attaches us with bonds stronger than death. It cannot be bought or sold; there is nothing it cannot face; love is life’s greatest blessing." Supremely free is an instance of figurative language; bonds stronger than death is also an example of imaginative expression; and life's greatest blessing is also poetic..
