Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY
The narrator says, “I verily believe she thinks it is the writing which made me sick!” This refers to the idea that writing or intellectual activity harmed her, a view the narrator questions while continuing to write secretly. Her statement therefore suggests she does not accept that women are too frail for intellectual work. The other choices describe her passivity or routine, not her attitude toward women’s intellectual abilities.
