Question

Read this excerpt from "A Servant to Servants" and answer the question. There's nothing but a voice-like left inside That seems to tell me how I ought to feel, And would feel if I wasn't all gone wrong. You take the lake. I look and look at it. I see it's a fair, pretty sheet of water. I stand and make myself repeat out loud The advantages it has, so long and narrow, Like a deep piece of some old running river Cut short off at both ends. Based on the narrator’s emotional state, what is most likely the meaning of sheet?

Answer 1

B (flat, open expanse) I know because I got it right

Answer 2

Well here the author says that inner voice of us reveals our feelings, regrets in other words what we live in our life is reflected inside of us. So he gives the example of water .Like our life, it runs quickly and our life also one day will be cut off which means it 'll come to an end. So this sheet of water is one of the pages of our life which is one part of in our long life journey.
