Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Within this quote, you feel her inability to connect to others and how isolated she feels. How you are standing in a room of full of people but you still feel alone.

B

Looking at her words, she describes the admiration of others but there is a disconnect in the way she talks about the broken mirror. An metaphor for the broken state of her relationship to the others. The eyes are looking but there is no warmth or friendship. They see what they want to see, a fantasy that leads to nothing. The world she has built to see more than what she has.
