The fact that Agatha feels she has to run away to avoid marriage reveals that parents viewed their decisions about their children's future as final, option A.

<h3>What does the text reveal?</h3>

The excerpt from the text "A Grecian Wedding" revolves around Agatha's opinions and feelings concerning the common practice of arranged marriages in ancient Greece. Agatha knows her parents will soon find her a groom, so she considers running away to avoid it.

The fact that Agatha feels she has to run away reveals there is no arguing with her parents. There is no convincing them that she should not get married. In other words, parents saw their decisions about their children's future as final.

With the information above in mind, we can select option A as the correct answer for this question.

The missing text is the following:

Agatha’s sister, Demetria, was just 14 years old when her father informed her that she was to be married. This practice was not uncommon in ancient Greece. Many parents selected husbands for their teenage daughters, and grooms were often considerably older than brides. Agatha had known this day would probably come, and when it did she was anything but happy about it. Demetria was only a year older than Agatha. Demetria’s getting married meant Agatha was next in line to wed. The thought of her sister’s arranged marriage terrified Agatha—so much so that she considered running away to avoid the same fate. But Agatha also knew that this rebellious thought alone was enough to anger the gods. She was a girl, and the beliefs and customs prescribed by the gods required girls to obey their parents.

What lines are repeated in Hamilton’s reflections during “The World Was Wide Enough”?
vagabundo [1.1K]

The line repeated in Hamilton's musings is "on the other side."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • “The World Was Wide Enough” is the song sung by Hamilton and Burr during the duel scene where Hamilton is killed.
  • At this point in the story, Hamilton is reflective and thoughtful, he doesn't see triumph in the legacy he left, he feels tired and sad for his son's death.

When he starts thinking about his life and everything he has witnessed, he starts repeating the line "on the other side," as he starts thinking about the important people in his life who have died and are no longer on the material side of the world.

The repetition of that line demonstrates Hamilton's desire to go to the other side and find the people he misses.
