Answer 1

i had the same question on a test and i got it correct the answer is C:They recognize that she loves a human man.

Answer 2

The answer is: They recognize that she loves a human man.  

In Alexander Pope's narrative poem "The R ape of the Lock," the sylphs can protect Belinda if she is pure and has a good heart, but their power is gone if she begins to have feelings for someone. Therefore, because she begins to have feelings for Baron, Ariel ans the sylphs can't help her anymore.
