The correct answer is D. Hamlet explores the purpose of living and places a high value on reason.

What Hamlet is saying in this excerpt is that humans are no different than animals if they don't use their reason and mind. We have been endowed with reason (unlike animals) so we are supposed to use it in our everyday lives. Renaissance humanism put a lot of emphasis on man and reason, so this quote depicts such opinions perfectly.

Explanation:

I'd consider this a "book smarts" vs. "street smarts" scenario, pretty literally with the idea of not knowing what subway to take. Nothing in the passage shows she isn't confident in her abilities or has any sort of dependence on her daughter, and it states very clearly many things she is able to do.

I think the author chose to start the book 19 years before the main events of the story so the reader could absorb things. The author technically wanted the reader(s) to understand something before reading the real story.
