The correct answer is D) thinks that discussing his wife’s behavior is beneath him.
Exaplanation:
In the line 34, The Duke says that he does not “stoop to blame” the Duchess for her actions. It means that he does not bow down himself to tell her how he disapproves her behaviour. The meaning of stoop is to bow down to the same level of other person, so the duke will never lower himself to the Duchess’s level to blame her.
<h2><em>Literature, in its broadest sense, is any written work. Etymologically, the term derives from Latin litaritura/litteratura “writing formed with letters,” although some definitions include spoken or sung texts. More restrictively, it is writing that possesses literary merit.</em></h2><h2><em>Literature allows a person to step back in time and learn about life on Earth from the ones who walked before us. We can gather a better understanding of culture and have a greater appreciation of them. We learn through the ways history is recorded, in the forms of manuscripts and through speech itself</em></h2>
