The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not  change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

<u>Answer:</u>

The description suggests that A: Fear influences what people say and do.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Fear is the clash between our inner sense and outer sense, i.e. clash between what we really are from inside and the pressure of society, family, decisions on outside creates fear in humans.

The fear that arises when we see any wild animal or a danger in front of us results in some chemical reactions in our brain and we react. In any negative situations, when one fears, people tend to react differently and may be say things in a different way. So, option A is correct according to the description given about Gazelle. Other options are incorrect according to the excerpt given.

Yes, because that’s your friend and you should always try your best to be truthful and your friend did ask for your opinion. You should tell your friend how you feel, but let her know that you don’t know their bf/gf that well so your observations could be totally wrong.
