Question

Which of these excerpts from act I of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night informs the audience that Olivia has gone into a self-imposed seclusion? DUKE: Why, so I do, the noblest that I have: O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first, Methought she purg'd the air of pestilence; That instant was I turn'd into a hart; And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds, E'er since pursue me.—How now! what news from her? (Twelfth Night, act I, scene I) CAPTAIN: A virtuous maid, the daughter of a count That died some twelvemonth since; then leaving her In the protection of his son, her brother, Who shortly also died; for whose dear love, They say, she hath abjured the company And sight of men. (Twelfth Night, act I, scene II) DUKE: How will she love when the rich golden shaft Hath kill'd the flock of all affections else That live in her; when liver, brain, and heart, These sovereign thrones, are all supplied and fill'd,— Her sweet perfections,—with one self king!—

CAPTAIN: A virtuous maid, the daughter of a count That died some twelvemonth since; then leaving her In the protection of his son, her brother, Who shortly also died; for whose dear love, They say, she hath abjured the company And sight of men. (Twelfth Night, act I, scene II) 

Because it specifically says she's been in mourning and avoiding people.
