Read the excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury.I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which, rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.
Answer
A
dislikes most European countries.
B
has the qualities of a capable leader.
C
is physically able to fight as a soldier.
D
will make a fair and virtuous judge.
Explanation
Elizabeth contrasts her “weak and feeble” body with the “heart and stomach of a king.” She says she will take up arms and serve as the troops’ general, showing courage, resolve, and leadership. The excerpt presents her as a capable leader, not as someone who is physically strong enough to fight like a soldier.
