Question

Read the lines from “To My Dear and Loving Husband.”

I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

What do these lines suggest?


She believes her husband should treasure their relationship.

Bradstreet strives to achieve wealth and success.

Bradstreet values her husband’s affection above all else.

She places more importance on material things than emotion.

Answer 1

I would say it's C. because it says "Bradstreet values her husband's affection above anything else" and in the line it says "I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold" so with "thy" meaning "your" we can rephrase it and say "I prize your love more than whole mines of gold"

Answer 2

Your answer would be:

Bradstreet values her husband's affection above all else.
