Which of these inferences is best supported by the excerpt shown below? Queen Elizabeth I, Henry VIII's second daughter, came to the throne in 1558. Famous for her wit and eloquence, she knew Greek, Latin, and
several modern languages and loved music, dancing, and the theater. Her long reign of forty-five years was marked by religious conflicts, political
intrigue, and threats of war. She turned England into a great sea power capable of defeating the feared Spanish Armada. With a nimble
intelligence and strong personality, she also supported a flourishing period of cultural achievement. Elizabeth's court served as a forum for daring
displays of wit that the queen greatly admired-and in which she skillfully participated. Her favorites, privileged members of the court, exemplified
the qualities she most admired. Sir Walter Raleigh, for example, combined many occupations: soldier and sailor, explorer of Virginia and Guiana,
poet and scientist, possible spy. He began to write his History of the World while imprisoned in the Tower of London by Elizabeth's successor, her
cousin James I.
A Queen Elizabeth's proudest achievement was the defeat of the Spanish armada.
B. Queen Elizabeth had a long covert romance with Sir Walter Raleigh.
C. Queen Elizabeth's intellectual passion encouraged her subjects' pioneering in thought and expression.
O D. James I sought to eradicate all that his predecessor had done while on the throne.
