Question 8 • English Language Arts 11

Read the last stanza of "That I did always love." This—dost thou doubt—Sweet— Then have I Nothing to show But Calvary— What does the word “Calvary” most likely suggest?

Answer
A
The speaker is martyred by her love.
B
The speaker is in a great deal of pain.
C
The speaker considers love akin to religion.
D
The speaker finds human love unpleasant.

Explanation

Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified, so it suggests suffering and sacrifice. The speaker says it is all she has to show for her love, implying that love has left her like a martyr. Thus “The speaker is martyred by her love” is the best choice; pain is part of the suggestion, but D captures the reference more specifically.
