Which opinion of Colonel Brandon reflects the greatest hindrance to his hopes for a happy “second attachment” in Sense and Sensibility. A. Willoughby’s opinion: Brandon “is just the kind of man . . . whom every body speaks well of, and nobody cares about.” B. Marianne’s opinion: “. . . a man of five and thirty might well have outlived all acuteness of feeling and every exquisite power of enjoyment.” C. Sir John’s opinion: “There is no persuading you to change your mind, Brandon, I know of old . . . when once you are determined on anything.” D. Elinor’s opinion: Brandon’s “reserve appeared rather the result of some oppression of spirits than of any natural gloominess of character.”
