Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Sister.

Explanation:

Charles and his sister Mary both suffered from mental illness at the same time. Mary Lamb's sickness was more serious than her brother's, and it caused her to become angry on one occasion, which proved fatal.

• While making dinner on September 22, 1796, Mary became enraged with her apprentice, throwing her out of the way and pushing her into another room.
• Mary experienced a nervous breakdown after her mother, Elizabeth, began chastising her for it. She unsheathed the kitchen knife she had been holding and approached her mother, who was seated.
• Mary was struck by acute madness and stabbed her mother in the heart with a table knife after being worn down to a state of extreme nervous suffering by attention to needlework by day and to her mother by night.
• Soon after the murder, Charles barged into the house and snatched the knife from Mary's grip.
• Later that evening, Charles found Mary a nearby home at Fisher House, a private mental institution that he had discovered with the help of a doctor acquaintance.
• After rejecting his brother John's idea that they submit Mary to a public mental institute, Charles assumed responsibility for her. Lamb spent a significant portion of his little earnings to keep his adored sister in a secluded "madhouse" in Islington.

Lamb, who had never married due to family obligations, fell in love with a Covent Garden actress, Fanny Kelly, and proposed marriage to her in addition to composing her a sonnet. He died a bachelor because she refused him.
