Question

Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again. Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his having slighted one of her daughters. In the last sentence, Mrs. Bennet is described as "violent" against Mr. Darcy. What does violent mean in this context? A) to attack with intent to injure B) to destroy or break something of value C) showing great physical or natural force D) showing great negative emotion

Answer 1

The answer would be, D showing great negative emotion. Hope this helps have a great day.
