I've never read the book but i'm guessing that the answer is A because the Friar is already a religious man and so to be working as a priest would seem like a thing he would do.
Sometimes, poems use a word that has several synonyms. When reading a poem and when analyzing the writing, you should check the definition of the word based on how it was used in the poem. Always remember that there are words that could mean a different thing when used.
Answer:
Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address was meant to calm those who feared him. This is clear throughout the whole excerpt. However, two quotes in particular address this intention directly:
"Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension."
"'I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.'"
In the first quote, Lincoln addresses the fears of Southerners directly, as a lot of them were worried about the status of their belongings in the new regime. The second quote restates his intent to not interfere with slavery in the South, as was expressed in a previous speech.
