IT IS C I DID THIS ON STUDY ISLAND PLS MARK BRALIEST HEHEHEH
Reading the excerpt from the "Il Penseroso" (The Serious Man) by John Milton, 5the phrase "Prophetic strain" means an effort is required to be a visionary.
The melancholic mood is glorified by the speaker as a means by which to "attain / To something like prophetic strain,".
A. quite displeased and upset is the most formal of these.
Hope this helps!! :)
