What does this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night imply about Olivia?
VALENTINE: So please my lord, I might not be admitted,
But from her handmaid do return this answer:
The element itself, till seven years' heat,
Shall not behold her face at ample view;
But like a cloistress she will veiled walk,
And water once a-day her chamber round
With eye-offending brine: all this to season
A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh
And lasting in her sad remembrance.

I believe C is correct. A would be correct if it said she would become a cloistress but it only said she would be like a cloistress. http://nfs.sparknotes.com/twelfthnight/page_4.html
