Answer:
The best definition of 'ill' from Anne Bradstreet's poem is 'wrongly.'
Explanation:
Anne Bradstreet’s poem ‘To her Father With Some Versus’ is an ode to her father. The lines “The principal might yield a greater sum,
Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb” states that whatever Anne’s father have did for her would have resulted in much better outcome if only she had taken proper care of it. But instead, she didn’t. We come to known this from the line ‘Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb.’ Here ‘handled ill’ stands for handling things wrongly, in a improper manner.
Wow, this is dark. Uh, the answer is D, I believe.
