Answer:

Option A. Based on the excerpt, it can be inferred that the meaning of the poem is that the girl regrets not dating the men.

Explanation:

The Shih Ching, also known as The Book of Songs, is the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry with works that go from the 11th to the 7th Century BC. "A Very Handsome Gentleman" is one of the poems in the collection, it talks about the angst and regret a young girl feels for having to turn down possible dating opportunities with men she found handsome and splendid. This topic is a highly relatable within the Chinese culture, as it is connected with following your family's orders and rules they set for you, even if they go against your own desires, as the girl expresses in the excerpt she wishes he uncles would let her go to the men's houses, implying that they do not in fact agree with her doing such a thing.

The triangle trade, also called Western or Atlantic slave trafficking, was a slave trade conducted between Europe, Africa and the Americas between the XVIe and XIX centuries. Its aim was to provide black slaves to colonies of the New World (America), to supply Europe with products from these settlements and to sell in Africa,European and American products. This was, for the European ships, to bring to the Atlantic coasts of Africa different goods of European origin, objects of little value, guns, weapons... highly appreciated by Africans. Goods were exchanged for black African prisoners, who were then forced to go to Americas. Here men, women, children... were sold as slaves to work in the cotton or sugar cane fields.The ships then returned to Europe with American coffee, sugar, cotton, rum which were resold. This trade lasted from the XVIe century until the early XIXe century. They say it was triangular because, on a map, it was represented by arrows connecting Europe, Africa and America which draw a triangle.
