How is she described in relation to other daughters?

• A. Many daughters are more virtuous than she is.
• B. Thou excellest them all.
• C. Virtue is common among daughters.
• D. She has not achieved anything notable.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how language signals a superlative praise. The phrase Thou excellest them all means you surpass every other one. In archaic English, thou with the -est ending is a direct address, and “excellest” shows present tense superiority. “Them all” leaves no doubt that she is above all the other daughters. So the description is that she stands out as the best among them, excelling all others. The other options would imply she’s not as virtuous, that virtue is common, or that she’s not notable, which conflicts with the wording.
