Read these lines from Anne Bradstreet’s “Verses Upon the Burning of Our House” and answer the question that follows:

When by the ruins oft I past

My sorrowing eyes aside did cast

And here and there the places spy

Where oft I sate and long did lie.

Here stood that trunk, and there that chest,

There lay that store I counted best.

My pleasant things in ashes lie

And them behold no more shall I.

Under thy roof no guest shall sit,

Nor at thy Table eat a bit.

Which idea is best supported by these lines?

She is broken-hearted that all of her pleasant things are gone.
She is thankful that not everything was lost in the fire.
She needs a friend to console her.
She is angry that God allowed the fire to destroy her home.
