Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.

Read the two excerpts from paragraph 25.
...I have been as happy then, we will say, as the best of birds, and have had seasons of solitude at intervals before now during which dull is the last word to describe my state of mind.... ...Obviously happiness must come from within, and not from without; and judging from my past experience and my present sensations, I should say that I have a store just now within me more than sufficient to fill five quiet months.
What inference about the narrator can be made based on these excerpts?
It can be inferred that the narrator
A: Is concerned about being perceived as dull
B: Has always spent a lot of time being happy on her own in nature
C: Worries that her husband has trouble finding happiness within himself
D: Enjoys observing birds more than being in her garden.

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its B.

Explanation: None of the others make sense, her husband isn't mentioned, the birds are only used as a metaphor, and majority of the excerpt speaks on internal happiness
