PL HELPPP Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows.

How happy your last letters have made me — those since Christmas Eve! I should like to call you by all the endearing epithets, and yet I can find no lovelier word than the simple word ‘dear,’ but there is a particular way of saying it. My dear one, then, I have wept for joy to think that you are mine, and often wonder if I deserve you.

Using context, you can see that the word epithet as it is used in this excerpt means a “term used as a descriptive substitute for the name of a person.” Which of these other words from the letter is an example of an epithet?
