The very first chords which Mademoiselle Reisz struck upon the piano sent a keen tremor down Mrs. Pontellier's spinal column. It

was not the first time she had heard an artist at the piano. Perhaps it was the first time she was ready, perhaps the first time her being was tempered to take an impress of the abiding truth.
She waited for the material pictures which she thought would gather and blaze before her imagination. She waited in vain. She saw no pictures of solitude, of hope, of longing, or of despair. But the very passions themselves were aroused within her soul, swaying it, lashing it, as the waves daily beat upon her splendid body. She trembled, she was choking, and the tears blinded her.


Which statement best explains how the excerpt reveals a moment of epiphany for Mrs. Pontellier?

A. She is lost in memories from her past.
B. She recognizes her moral duty to society.
C. She understands exactly what action she must take.
D. She is going through a personal transformation.

The answer is: D. She is going through a personal transformation.

An epiphany is a moment in which someone suddenly realizes or understands something important.

In the excerpt from "The Awakening," by Kate Chopin, Edna feels truly emotional and reconstructed as she listens to Mademoiselle Reisz play the piano wonderfully at Madame Lebrun's party. As a result, something has changed in her. Actually, in the next chapter she dares to swim, even though she is not a very good swimmer, and she has new feelings for Robert.

Answer:

D. She is going through a personal transformation.

Explanation:

In the section, Mme Pontellier is anticipating that the music should influence her with a certain goal in mind. It says that"she waited for the material pictures." This is by all accounts how she as a rule encounters excellent music. Be that as it may, on this event, she doesn't see pictures.

Rather, the music achieves right to her spirit and stirs "the very passions themselves". This is a change for Mme Pontellier as it stirs things in her she either had supressed or never felt.
