Read the passage.

When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide,
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide;
“Doth God exact day labor, light denied?”
In Sonnet XIX by John Milton, the speaker feels that upon losing his eyesight, his talent has been rendered useless. Why does blindness have this effect on his talent?

The speaker feels that he won’t be able to see the results of his endeavors.
The speaker feels no one will want to read work written by a blind man.
The speaker feels that without sight, he will not be able to write, study his work, or read other material.
The speaker feels that without sight, money is worthless.

Is not relevant, let alone correct. Helen Keller had much to say about being both blind and deaf, yet that was not the main part of why she was famous. She was admired for the rich inner life she developed for herself. B is not the answer.

A

John Milton was a very religious man. He cared little about what the results of his writing was. He cared mostly about uncovering the truth of his findings. He had a mostly humble nature about him. A is not correct.

D

He doesn't mention personal gain anywhere. This is more a lament at the loss of his sight when he is at the height of his power.

C

He worries that he will no longer be productive. C is your answer.
