Question 9 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.

Answer
A
the sage
B
the rebel
C
the tragic heroine
D
the villain

Explanation

Boadicea is described as having lost all hope and facing defeat by the Romans. Her tears and tender farewell to her daughters make the moment sorrowful and sympathetic, presenting her as a tragic heroine. She is not portrayed as a villain, and this scene emphasizes her grief rather than her rebelliousness or wisdom.
