How is the business woman characterized in the
passage?

there was a business woman, from near bath,
but, more's the pity, she was a bit deaf;
so skilled a clothmaker, that she outdistanced
even the weavers of ypres and ghent,
in the whole parish there was not a woman
who dared precede her at the almsgiving,
and if there did, so furious was she,
that she was put out of all charity
her headkerchiefs were of the finest weave,
ten pounds and more they weighed, i do believe,
those that she wore on sundays on her head.

as shy and self-conscious

as calm and reserved

as jealous and vain

as generous and kind
