A
Not correct. She could have been using references to anything. Not all her references are from literature. Southern Bitter Wormwood is a reference to the wormwood plant which is medicinal in nature and it is very bitter.
C
Maybe. But there's a better answer. It's not her personality we are drawn to although it is quite bubbly if this passage is any kind of indication. It is the joy she takes in recognizing that Beowulf likes a good drink and he wanted her to join him and she was delighted by the invitation.
D
She could have been talking about anything that engaged her. It just happened to be mostly about the classics.
B
This is the best answer. C and D are close, but it really is B that we are attracted to. We have our eyes opened to the grand people in books. More than that we feel her joy in Beowulf, her polite tea conversation with Oliver Twist, her astonishing acceptance of the meaning of Sydney Carton's statement at the end of a Tale of Two Cities.

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.
Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.
However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.
