Which of these excerpts from act i of shakespeare’s twelfth night informs the audience that olivia has gone into a self-imposed seclusion? (each paragraph is an answer and there can only be one)

duke: why, so i do, the noblest that i have:
o, when mine eyes did see olivia first,
methought she purg'd the air of pestilence;
that instant was i turn'd into a hart;
and my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
e'er since pursue me.—how now! what news from her?
(twelfth night, act i, scene i)

captain: a virtuous maid, the daughter of a count
that died some twelvemonth since; then leaving her
in the protection of his son, her brother,
who shortly also died; for whose dear love,
they say, she hath abjured the company
and sight of men.
(twelfth night, act i, scene ii)

duke: how will she love when the rich golden shaft
hath kill'd the flock of all affections else
that live in her; when liver, brain, and heart,
these sovereign thrones, are all supplied and fill'd,—
her sweet perfections,—with one self king! —
(twelfth night, act i, scene i)
