In the poem: "To My Dear and Loving Husband?" The option that describes the best Bradstreet's purpose is:

A. To profess the depths of her love to her husband and the unity she feels with him.

Explanation:

The first element that backs the answer is that she describes how much they love each other meaning that it is a union, not a one-sided love. Therefore it cannot be considered her love for him. The second is that she talks about the love between them considering themselves as a group. So, she is not talking about her qualities and virtues. But the state of interdependence they live in. Meaning that they are a unit, but inside that unit, they are also individuals.
