Have you not finished your work yet, bride? listen, the guest has come. have you not lit the lamp in the cowshed? have you not got ready the offering basket for the evening service? by directing the questions in the poem to a bride, the author makes the reader a)visualize the setting of the wedding. b)reflect on what the bride is going through. c)think that the author already knows the answers. d)wonder what the guest must be thinking.

The answer is B. reflect on what the bride is going through.

Explanation:

The questions represent the pressure to which a bride puts down when her wedding day has arrived. Thus, the author is trying to make us reflect a little thorugh this lines on what the bride goes through when her wedding day has arrived; guests, litting lamps, baskets for the evening service, etc... mean, just a little of what needs to be done in a wedding and most of the time by brides.
