Answer:

A: It does not convey to power and immensity of the idea.

Explanation:

The given question refers to the essay <em>Love's Vocabulary</em> by Diane Ackerman.

<em>How can love’s spaciousness be conveyed in the narrow confines of one syllable? </em>-<em> </em>asks the author. She discusses the origin of the word, and how people use it: <em>We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything.</em>

The problem is not that the word <em>love </em>consists of only one syllable, but that such a powerful, diverse feeling is difficult to describe. One word is not enough to convey its power, and the way people use it is not appropriate.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
