Question
The author of the passage quotes Elizabeth Barrett Browning (2nd paragraph) in order to demonstrate that Victorian women writers:
Options:
A .  Possessed both talent and literary creativity
B .  Felt that their works were misunderstood
C .  Feared derisive criticism
D .  Resented condescending criticism
Answer: Option D
:
D
The author before, quoting Elizabeth Barrett, says that the women writers expected harsh and jeering reviews. But the critics were generous towards them. They considered the critics' view to be condescending because the writers wanted rigorous and impartial criticism and did not want any considerations based on their sex. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
