Read the following lines and answer the question that follows.

She hath Dian's wit,
And, in strong proof of chastity well armed,
From Love's weak childish bow she lives uncharmed. (I, i, 201-203)

Here Romeo is saying that Diana's armor is stronger than Cupid's bow. What does this mean?
a. He is not attracted to the girl.
b. He is hopelessly in love with the girl.
c. She is not interested in love.
d. She falls in love with every boy she meets.

Answer 1

C.She is not interested in love.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. She is not interested in love.

Explanation:

Cupid is known as the roman god of desire and affection, and he is depicted as a winged infant wering nothing but a diaper, and carrying a bow and a quiver along. Cupid strikes the feeling of love into humans by shooting them with his arrows.

Regarding the excerpt, as Cupid's arrows are said to be weaker than Diana's armor, it is implied she can hardly fall in love with somebody. The description of her armor as a "strong proof of chastity" is evidence for this answer as well.
