Answer 1

Answer: B. as flirtatious and naive.

In the lines from Robert Brownings's "My last Duchess", the speaker is describing its subject as flirtatious and naive. He explains that her 'heart is too soon made glad' and 'too easily impressed'; 'she liked whate'er', which shows her naivety ; also, he says her 'looks went everywhere', infering that she is flirtatious.

Answer 2

I understand the phrase "her looks went everywhere" to say that she looked at everyone- this would mean that she flirted with everyone.

Also, she seems to be naive as everything pleases her, everything makes her happy

So the correct answer is: "flirtatious and naive"
