Read the following excerpt from Bulfinch's Mythology. In cultured garden, free uncultured flows,

The flavor sweeter and the hue more fair

Than e'er was fostered by the hand of care.

The cherry here in shining crimson glows,

And stained with lover's blood, in pendent rows,

The mulberries o'erload the bending boughs."
What element improves the mulberries?

Hue more fair
Hand of care
Sweeter flavor
The lover's blood

The lover's blood

Explanation:

This excerpt is part of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, two lovers that have no permission from their parents to get married. Believing that Thisbe is gone, Pyramus hills himself, and, when she finds him, she does the same. The mythological story claims that Pyramus´blood sprayed all over the white fruit of a mulberry tree, turning it into a dark purple color, and that´s why the fruit from the mulberry tree always turns to a dark purple color when they become ripe.
