Question

After Lizzie sacrifices to get fruit for Laura, Laura _____.

A) Shares the fruit with Lizzie.
B) Refuses to eat the fruit.
C) Sells the fruit to goblin men.
D) Eats the fruit and becomes ill.

Answer 1

In Christina Rossetti's poem 'Goblin Market', Laura eats the fruit brought by Lizzie and recovers from her prior illness caused by the goblin men's fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the poem Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, in which Lizzie sacrifices herself to acquire fruit from the goblin men for her sister Laura. After Lizzie confronts the goblin men and endures their torment without eating the fruit, she returns to Laura. Laura initially refuses to eat the fruit but eventually does and recovers from her ill state caused by consuming the fruit earlier in the poem. Thus, the correct answer is D) Eats the fruit and becomes ill, although in the context of the poem, 'becomes ill' refers to her initial consumption before Lizzie's sacrifice, while afterwards, it should suggest recovery.
