This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Which statement illustrates society's view of women as illustrated by Spenser's sonnet?
A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.
B. Women were seen as primarily homemakers.
C. Women were portrayed as temptresses who lured men.
D. Women were portrayed as equal to men in all ways.
Answer:
The statement that best illustrates society's view of women is:
A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.
Explanation:
Even without knowing to what specific sonnet this question refers, it is still possible to answer it. Edmund Spenser, born in 1553, is well known for talking of beauty in his sonnets. Not only does he often glorify women's physical beauty, a common theme for the time period when he lived, but even beauty in thinking and loving. Of course, back then women were not seen as men's equals at all. With all that in mind, we can safely choose letter A as the correct option.
You would use a thesaurus to find a synonym for a word, and a dictionary to find the meaning of a word :)

Answer:
"...Princess Matilda, though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England. niece to Edgar Atheling, and mother to the Empress of Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assure the veil of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. "
It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honor of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license.
Explanation:
Two historical characters, Princess Matilda and King William, are mentioned and described in these two lines. Ivanhoe seems to be a work of historical fiction based on these two phrases.
