The answer is:
- D. strengthened, or reaffirmed, her religious faith.
<em>"I love thee with a love I seemed to lose </em>
<em>With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath", </em>
the speaker refers to a lost love she once had for the saints and that now, it has returned.
Moreover:
<em>"I love thee with the passion put to use
</em>
<em>In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith",</em>
the speaker compares a child's faith, which is pure and innocent, with her faith or religious life to emphasize how the love she feels now can change everything.
- <u>Option A</u> can not be correct since the poem implies that she had faith as a child.
- <u>Option B</u> is not correct because her love has not been challenged by faith.
- There is no evidence in the poem for <u>Option C </u>to be accurate.
