## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the correct definition of the word "solace" in the context of the sentence provided. The sentence is: "The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The word "solace" is used in the sentence to describe something that provides comfort or relief in times of disappointment or sadness. In this context, the solace is visiting and news.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />We need to compare this understanding of "solace" with the provided options:<br />- Do something that one considers to be below one's dignity<br />- The comfort felt when consoled in times of disappointment<br />- A sudden desire<br />- Having ethical or moral principles<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The first option, "Do something that one considers to be below one's dignity", does not match the context of the sentence. The second option, "The comfort felt when consoled in times of disappointment", aligns with the context of the sentence. The third option, "A sudden desire", does not match the context of the sentence. The fourth option, "Having ethical or moral principles", also does not match the context of the sentence.
