VALENTINE: So please my lord, I might not be admitted,
But from her handmaid do return this answer:
The element itself, till seven years' heat,
Shall not behold her face at ample view;
But like a cloistress she will veiled walk,
And water once a-day her chamber round
With eye-offending brine: all this to season
A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh
And lasting in her sad remembrance.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This answer is clear when you answer the text a little bit. The lines "Like a cloistress she will veiled walk, and water once a day her chamber round" implies that she will be walking around her chamber (room) and cry. It is also made clear that this is because of her brother's death, by the line "A brother's dead love, which she would keep fresh... And lasting in her sad rememberance". Hope this helps!
