Read: Tristan and Isolde , The Love Sin, By Lady Jane Wilde (1871 )

A . The central conflict in this poem is between Tristan and Isolde because they cannot decide if their love is true or fake.

B . The central conflict in this poem revolves around the secrecy of Tristan and Isolde’s love, and the strife this secret brings them (as they keep it from King Mark).

C . The central conflict in this poem is between King Mark and Sir Tristan, as they fight for Isolde’s love and hand in marriage.

D . The central conflict in this poem deals mostly with the rumors being spread by the courtiers, who threaten to tell the king of the queen’s faithlessness.

Answer: B . The central conflict in this poem revolves around the secrecy of Tristan and Isolde’s love, and the strife this secret brings them (as they keep it from King Mark).

Explanation:

Jane Wilde wrote this poem in the 1800's, based on a Celtic legend. Her focus is on the forbidden love of Tristan And Isolde. ("None, unless the saints above, Knew the secret of their love", and " their hands would twine unseen"). Their love seems to feed on the rush of the secrecy they keep to avoid King Mark of Cornwall from finding out about it.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

She wants to gain control of the situation.

She is shocked by his insults.

She has sympathy for the fellow Austrian.

She plans to confess her crimes.

Answer:

She wants to gain control of the situation.

Explanation:

In the text above we can see that the officer is totally out of control, shouting and making a scandal in front of Miep, who remains calm and focused, without reacting to all the shouting that the officer is emitting. Miep does this to keep control of the situation in her hands and to stand in favor of her actions, showing courage and showing that she doesn’t tackle anything, more than that, when taking control of the situation Miep shows that she is correct and that there is no need for despair and scandals when you are correct.
