In Sonnet 106, the speaker claims that earlier praise has prefigured, or _____, his love.
A. molded****
B. created
C. destroyed
D. suggested
I think not. Usage of many words was different in Shakespeare's time than it is in ours, so sometimes it's hard to say what, exactly, he meant. His time was a time of great change in language usage, pronunciation, etc., so some words were already changing in meaning in his own time!
"Prefigured" means an early version of something, or a suggestion of things to come. I'd opt with D. What your school program or your teacher thinks may be different, though.
Thank you very much...I was having some problem with this question, and you have made me understand the concept more. Now, I am no longer confused and I thank you greatly for that :)
Well, I do see why you would choose A, "molded", and that may well be a valid interpretation. Still, I would opt for D, "suggested".
