Well it means the actions and good deeds that people do give meaning to life and help the person and their name live on. I’d go into a story with the thought that the main character lives a long life because of the good deeds (could think of outstanding and kind actions) he or she did and not just because they live to 70 years.

Answer:
A. anticipating an objection her audience might have
D. making a counterargument
Explanation:
Virginia Woolf suggested the fictional idea of Shakespeare having an equally gifted sister. Through this, she wanted to show what would happen to her career and would she become as famous as her brother, all of that in order to show that women hadn't had equal opportunities as men, since the Renaissance to the 19th century. She also states that, women's purpose, regarded by society, was to stay at home, be hosewives and take care of the children. That way they couldn't earn money and provide for themselves. That was another obstacle for their career.
Here, in this excrept, we see that Woolf emphasizes the importance of material things in order for one tobecome famous poet. Stating this, she understands that manybwould disagree and she anticipates a potential objection to this claim ("...still you may say that the mind
should rise above such things; and that great poets have often been poor men."). Soon after this, she counterclaims this objection, stating a quoted evidence by Sir Arthur Quiller-Coach, a Professor of Literature ("The poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred years, a dog's chance...") to support her argument.
Although you have not put the excerpt to which the question refers, I can help you by showing you how Beowulf presents an overview of the Anglo-Saxon worldview and culture.
In the epic poem Beowul we can perceive a worldview in contrast to the one we have now. While we see nature as a place of peace and tranquility, the Anglo-Saxons had nature as a dark and dangerous place. For them, it was in nature that they found very powerful and cruel monsters, like Grendel. These monsters were always willing to attack deconcentrated humans who entered their territory, for this reason, they had a strong concern with entering into nature, fearing being attacked by monsters.
In contrast, the Anglo-Saxons saw domestic environments as safe. This can be seen from the representation of the mead hall in Beowul. The hall show characteristics that Anglo-Saxons saw as favorable and safe, such as wealth, security, good food, good games, community, protection and hospitality. For Anglo-Saxons these factors were not found in nature, because they were not part of a hostile and dangerous environment.
