Left Quotation
Marginally it is 2 and 3, but I'm not sure how to get rid of 1. The problem with omitting 1 is that she is declaring love of country comes above the personal need of being loved. Two explains to us why she picks that choice or what she expects of a man. Two really rephrases one. The difference is that she is actually saying what she wants him to say. Honor and patriotism mean much the same thing to this woman. (She's really odd). Three in any event is included.
<em><u>Conclusion:</u></em> 1 and 2 are very close. Don't be surprised at any answer that is given as correct.
Middle Quotation
The comment is pure irony. The sentence means exactly the opposite of what the cook is saying. Nature is completely indifferent to their problem. It also points out since that the wind is coming from the wrong direction for them to be able to get to shore, they are stuck where they are and are doomed to a death at sea. The other statements are more of less true, but the tone of C is what you need to pay attention to. That irony really hits home.
Right Quotation
A modern interpretation would tell you that before death (during a near death experience), people often report seeing a light much as Dickinson has described it. But the light is cut off by the fly and as modern person, I would say that life is dragging her back to earth, back to things like writing a will. The most unromantic thing about dying is writing a will. Having been the executor of an estate that had no will, I can tell you that the most thoughtful thing a person can do is have a will. It allows those whom you love the ability to shut off your water and other utilities. Does that sound romantic to you?
So in no particular order, my three lines would be
1. I willed my keepsakes.
2. The third line and
3. The last line.
