The quasielastic scattering of ${}_{}{}^{11}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ from ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ at 60 MeV/nucleon is calculated in a four-body Glauber approximation. Different ${}_{}{}^{11}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ ground-state wave functions are used, including those calculated using Faddeev three-body models. The calculated quasielastic cross sections, including the $2^{+}$ and $3^{\mathrm{-}}$ states of ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ in a distorted wave Born approximation, reproduce the experimental data over most of the angular range, the differences between theoretical models being less than the quoted statistical errors on the available data.
