B. They compare the holiness of the clergy to that of the speaker.
C. They contrast formal church services with nature.
- The excerpt belongs to Emily Dickinson's poem "Some keep the Sabbath going to Church."
- The speaker in the poem explains that she would much rather stay home than go to church for the Sabbath.
- She conveys the idea that home, her garden, and her family are already heaven to her. Those who go to church wish to go to heaven in the future. She, on the other hand, would rather do it now, by staying home.
- The lines "Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice- I just wear my wings-" helps reinforce the message above by contrasting the holiness of the clergy (surplice is the vestment worn by the priest) and her own.
- The priest has his clothes, but the speaker has wings - like an angel.
- Besides that, the image helps convey a contrast between church and nature. Church is formal; it has a certain dress code, a certain etiquette. Nature is informal, easy, tranquil - natural.
- With the information above in mind, we can choose letters B and C as the best options.
