Since words have multiple meanings, the context of a word often clues its meaning better than the dictionary's definition. In the following lines from Anne Bradstreet's poem, "To Her Father witih Some Verses," what is the best definition for principal?

"Most truly honored, and as truly dear,

If worth in me or ought I do appear,

Who can of right better demand the same

Than may your worthy self from whom it came?

The principal might yield a greater sum,

Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb;

My stock's so small I know not how to pay,

My bond remains in force unto this day."

The word principal is used in the independent clause "The principal might yield a greater sum". Principal is used as a noun in this clause and as the subject of the sentence. Options C and D are not nouns and therefore would not be good options. We also know that people don't often "yield a greater sum" or when dealt with poorly amount to nothing - or at least the head of a school would not. This only leaves reason as the best option.

Further Explanation:

In the above-given question, the line, “The principal might yield a greater sum” is used like a metaphor and here she compares that how much she believes what could have come of her if she cultivated that worth in order to bank principle. In this line she is showing that she feels that her father has put a lot of effort into raising her and she will show him that all his effort is not wasted.
