Answer 1

Answer:

A. Wealth and nature

Explanation:

To My Dear and Loving Husband is a poem written by Anne Bradstreet, the most prominent of early English poets of North America and the first writer in England's North American colonies to be published.

Imagery is a literary device in which the writer creates images in the mind of the reader through words by appealing to their senses. The speaker in the given poem describes her love for her husband using imagery relating to wealth and nature. We can see this in the following lines:

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,

Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

My love is such that rivers cannot quench,

Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.

Mines of gold and all the riches that the East doth hold are phrases connected to wealth, while the phrase that rivers cannot quench is connected to nature. This is why option A is the correct one.
