C. She tells a story to illustrate how women's talent has been historically suppressed.-Apex
The correct answer is C.
Woolf's purpose in this excerpt is to show how women's talents have been suppressed throught history.
Her goal is to show that we cannot know how intelligent Shakespeare's sister might have been if she had been allowed to study as her brothers were. How only she was discouraged from reading and writing, only for being a women, and was exclusively instructed on what women were supposed to do, such as cooking.
