Correct answer choice is :


D) Emily Dickinson, a great American poet, lived a quiet life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts into a leading family with strong links to its community. Emily Dickinson, considered one of America's greatest poets, is also well recognized for her unusual life of self-imposed social solitude. Living a life of simplicity and solitude, she yet wrote poetry of great power; asking the nature of salvation and death, with at times an almost mantric quality.
