Answer 1

Answer:

A. December 10, 1830

Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. She spent most of her life in relative seclusion in the same town. Her family was well-regarded in the area; her father, Edward Dickinson, was a lawyer and served as a U.S. Congressman. The Dickinson Homestead, where she was born, is now a museum dedicated to her life and work.
