Question

From what we have read so far, does Belinda deserve Pope's vicious mockery? Is she as vain as he thinks she is? Explain your answer.

a) Yes, she deserves the mockery, as she is excessively vain.
b) No, she does not deserve the mockery; she is not as vain as portrayed.
c) She deserves some mockery, but not to the extent depicted by Pope.
d) The text does not provide enough information to make a judgment.

Answer 1

No, Belinda does not deserve Pope's mockery as she is not as vain as portrayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Belinda does not deserve Pope's mockery as she is not as vain as portrayed. The description of Cleopatra in the passage does not provide any evidence of Belinda's vanity. Belinda is mentioned in the question but is not described in the provided text. Without further information about Belinda's character and actions, it is not possible to determine whether she deserves the mockery or if she is as vain as Pope thinks.
