I’m pretty sure it’s hubris!
Answer:
D. Thoreau regrets conforming to the expectations of others.
Explanation:
The figure of speech he is using is irony - he says that he <em>behaved so well </em>even though he considers that behavior to be bad. His neighbors, or rather the people around him, behave a certain way that Thoreau doesn't really approve of. However, in order to conform, or fit in with the rest of the society, he behaved in the same way they did, which made him disgusted and want to repent after having betrayed his ideals.
Answer:
The correct order is as follows:
- Farmer Hale recounts how he discovered John Wright's body.
- He describes Mrs Wright's strange behaviour at the time.
- Mrs Hale talks about Mrs Wright's unhappy marriage to John Wright.
- The women discuss the strange manner of the killing.
- The women discover a quilt in the kitchen and notice its strange stitching.
- The women discover an empty birdcage.
- The women find a dead bird in Mrs Wright's sewing basket.
- The women hide the dead bird from the men.
- The county attorney hints that because of the lack of any evidence, Mrs Wright will escape punishment.

I believe the correct answer is <span>B. Because most writing forms include narratives.
The first and last options aren't correct because an autobiographical narrative depicts real events from the writer's life, whereas a short story is fictional, which means the events and characters aren't real (and it doesn't have to be written in the 1st person).
The third option can be correct, but not in every case. Some of the best short stories don't include causes and effects. Actually, the causal relations are often concealed, and require a specific interpretation to explain them.
However, there is a narrative in both these forms. It means that they have a plot - introduction, climax, resolution (although they don't need to happen in a chronological order).</span>
