A.the author asks the readers who they think the princess lost her lover to.
B.the princess had won her lover over.
C.the princess had to kill her father to be with the lover.
Section 20

The more we reflect upon this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart which leads us through devious mazes of passion, out of which it is difficult to find our way. Think of it, fair reader, not as if the decision of the question depended upon yourself, but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy. She had lost him, but who should have him?

Answer 1

The answer would be A

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is really difficult, not because it is, but because the intent of the paragraph is not among your choices.

C is not true. She is not concerned about her father, even though she likely doesn't appreciate his style in this case. What she is concerned about is her lover. What should she do. Should she kill him because he she can't have him who should get him if not her?

I suppose A is your answer, but that is not exactly the problem. Should anyone get him if not her? That's her problem.

Her problem was not his affection. Her problem was what to do. Choose A.
