Question

MIRANDA

I do not know
One of my sex; no woman's face remember,
Save, from my glass, mine own; nor have I seen
More that I may call men than you, good friend,
And my dear father: how features are abroad,
I am skilless of; but, by my modesty,
The jewel in my dower, I would not wish
Any companion in the world but you,
Nor can imagination form a shape,
Besides yourself, to like of. But I prattle
Something too wildly and my father's precepts
I therein do forget.
What can be inferred about Miranda based on her use of the word prattle?

Answer 1

B. She thinks of herself as silly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B is the correct answer.

The use of the word "prattle" actually shows that she thinks of herself silly. To prattle simply means to make a sound or talk something that is foolish, silly or childish.

So, as she said "But I prattle...", this shows that she sees herself to say or utter things that are silly thereby seeing herself as silly. This means that she sees all that she has been saying as silly and childish.
