<span>Ross arrives and announces that Macbeth is to be the new Thane of Cawdor, thus confirming the first prophecy of the Witches. Banquo and Macbeth are struck dumb for the second time, but now Shakespeare contrasts their responses. Banquo is aware of the possibility that the prophecies may have been the work of supernatural dark forces, as exemplified in his lines "What? Can the Devil speak true?" (108) and "oftentimes, to win us to our harm, / The instruments of Darkness tell us truths . . . — (only) to betray us" (123-125). Macbeth is more ambiguous. His speech is full of what will now become his trademark — questioning, doubting, weighing up, and seeking to justify: "This supernatural soliciting / Cannot be ill; cannot be good" (130-131).</span>

The right answer is B. "The speaker places a high value on the item"
In this poem, the speaker is praising the courage of his/her mother and in the second stanza, the speaker tells us how much the golden brooch she left is treasured "I have nothing I treasure more" (meaning it has a high value).
In the third stanza is explained why it is said: "Yet, it is something I could spare.":
<em> "Oh, if instead she'd left to me
</em>
<em>The thing she took into the grave!-
</em>
<em>That courage like a rock, which she
</em>
<em>Has no more need of, and I have.
"</em>
The speaker is telling us that more valuable than the brooch would be if the mother gave her courage instead, that is more needed (and she can no longer use it)
, the brooch would be easily replaced only by her courage.
