Answer 2

Explanation:

I could not find the passage that is missing in your question but I will tell you some pieces of information that could be helpful.

• Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in 1830, Massachusetts and she was an American poet. She lived in one prominent family and she was studying at the Academy called Amherst.

People were thinking that she is eccentric and she was living life in isolation and she was an introvert person.

She was considered as a unique poet of her age so the answer D could be right. Also, other options are including something that we can see in her poetry so for the answer you must read the passage appropriately.
