Answer: a) she is never given the opportunity to speak for herself

b) Daisy dies before any of the rumors about her are confirmed

Step-by-step explanation:

Daisy Miller is a 1878 novel by Henry James. It tells a story about Daisy Miller, an American girl who travels around Europe with her mother and brother. In a hotel in Switzerland, she meets Winterbourne (also a young American), and the two of them begin their romance.

Initially, Daisy is presented as a young American girl, highly spirited and well-meaning. Throughout the novel, however, Winterbourne tries to determine whether she truly is a 'nice' girl. Daisy's actions do not really reveal much about her persona. The truth that we find out about her is only what we see through the eyes of Winterbourne. As Daisy falls ill and dies, she does not have an opportunity to confirm or deny the rumors about her.
