I don't know what book that is but based purely off the excerpt, I assume that Edna is beginning to realize that she wants to be more independent and to isolate herself. She wants to make decisions for herself.
Hope that helped! Again I haven't even heard of that book so sorry if it's not 100%!
You have done well here. Subjective is based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, and opinions. Answer D refers to insights and impulses that are unique to each person, making it personal. In #2, wording in the sentence such as joyfulling, sunny, and kicking up their heels are all positive words. Answer choices A, C, and D are all negative wording. B is the correct choice. Great job!
James Granger was based off of a real life figure named James Rorimer, who was a Curator. Hope this helps
