问题 English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, is probably best known for her collection of poems, Sonnets from the Portuguese. By title alone, one might assume that these poems were either translated from Portuguese or a product of Portuguese inspiration. Instead, the title refers to the author herself. Robert Browning, Elizabeth’s husband, affectionately called her his "little Portuguese," on account of her dark complexion. Indeed, it was Robert, himself a successful poet, who secured his wife’s literary fame through this volume of verse. While the poems in Sonnets from the Portuguese were intended as a private gift for him, he simply could not keep their beauty to himself. The book was subsequently published in 1850.
According to the passage, which of the following may be inferred about Robert Browning?
选项 A、Despite his love, Robert Browning was unable to appreciate the true quality of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s verse.
B、Robert Browning failed to take seriously his wife’s literary ambitions.
C、Robert Browning was well qualified to judge the quality of his wife’s poetry.
答案C
解析 The best answer is C only. Robert Browning is described as a successful poet, so he was likely qualified to recognize talent in others, which supports choice C. Browning was also directly responsible for his wife’s career as a poet, so choices A and B are contradicted by the passage.
