Explanation:
Here, Helen is talking about Miss Temple.
Miss Temple is full of goodness; it pains her to be
severe to any one, even the worst in the school: she
sees my errors, and tells me of them gently; and, if I do
anything worthy of praise, she gives me my meed
liberally. One strong proof of my wretchedly defective
nature is, that even her expostulations, so mild, so
rational, have not influence to cure me of my faults; and
even her praise, though I value it most highly, cannot
stimulate me to continued care and foresight.
Based on this excerpt, what does Helen think about
herself?
O She has faults and weaknesses that she hasn't been
able to overcome.
O She is one of Miss Temple's best and favorite
students.
O She does not appreciate her teachers enough.
O She tries to live up to Miss Temple's expectations.
