Which statement illustrates society's view of women as illustrated by Spenser's sonnet?

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Which statement illustrates society's view of women as illustrated by Spenser's sonnet?

A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.

B. Women were seen as primarily homemakers.

C. Women were portrayed as temptresses who lured men.

D. Women were portrayed as equal to men in all ways.

The statement that best illustrates society's view of women is:

A. Women's physical beauty was glorified.

Explanation:

Even without knowing to what specific sonnet this question refers, it is still possible to answer it. Edmund Spenser, born in 1553, is well known for talking of beauty in his sonnets. Not only does he often glorify women's physical beauty, a common theme for the time period when he lived, but even beauty in thinking and loving. Of course, back then women were not seen as men's equals at all. With all that in mind, we can safely choose letter A as the correct option.
