This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

This author corresponded with Michelangelo and wrote more than 400 poems, mostly Petrarchan sonnets.

a. Benvenuto Cellini

b. Baldessare Castiglione

c. Vittoria Colonna

d. Veronica Franco

The correct answer is C. Vittoria Colonna.

Explanation:

Vittoria Colonna was an Italian noblewoman who is believed to have become Michelangelo's spiritual mentor. Her poetry made her famous in 16th-century Italy. She wrote mainly Petrarchan sonnets, a type of poem consisting of 14 lines divided into two stanzas, one with eight and the other with 6 lines. The rhyme scheme for the first stanza is ABBAABBA, while for the second one it is CDCDCD or CDECDE. The most common theme for this type of poem is love, although it can also present themes such as blame and scorn. Colonna's Petrarchan poems revolved around her feelings of longing and loss. As a matter of fact, her fame as a poet grew bigger after her husband's death.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
