Answer 1

Answer:

a. The beloved makes the speaker feel like a complete person.

Explanation:

The poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne is about a lover's love and undying faithfulness for his love, even if there be any distance between them. This theme of love, the microcosmic part of the world, all shows how the poet sees the love between two people as worlds of their world.

The last line of the poem reads-

And makes me end where I begun.

This shows how the lover deems his beloved to provide the wholeness in his life, being there for him at all times. This last line can best mean to imply that  the beloved makes the speaker feel like a complete person.
