Correct Answer:
B. Betty
Explanation:
The correct answer is Betty. In Alexander Pope's mock-heroic poem 'The Rape of the Lock,' Betty is the name of Belinda's waiting-maid who assists her during the elaborate ritual of dressing and preparing at her toilet table. While the poem mentions other figures and sylphs like Ariel who protect her, Betty is specifically identified as the human servant performing the handmaid's duties. Therefore, Betty is the accurate choice for the name of the maid.
