Read the excerpt below and answer the question. ...and one must allow that there is something very trying to a young woman who HAS BEEN a beauty in the
loss of her personal attractions. You would not think It perhaps, but Marianne WAS remarkably handsome a
few months ago; quite as handsome as Elinor.- Now you see it is all gone." (Sense and Sensibility, chapter
34, p. 24)
According to John Dashwood, Marianne has lost some of her beauty. What has caused Marianne's appearance to
change so noticeably?
her father's death
losing Willoughby
the influence of Elinor
leaving Barton

Losing Willoughby.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" revolves around the story of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and how they managed to move on with their lives despite their 'inferior' status. The story deals with themes of love, sensibility, marriage, money, social class, inheritance, etc.

In the given excerpt from chapter XXXIV of the novel, John Dashwood said of his step-sister "Marianne" that she'd been "quite as handsome as Elinor.- Now you see it is all gone." This was because of her lost love, rejection, and betrayal by John Willoughby. Several lines before this, the author writes about Marianne's "own wounded heart" which was a result of this betrayal. This seems to be the main reason for the loss of her beauty, according to John Dashwood.

Thus, the correct is the second option.
