I think option A is the right answer
Answer:
Emily is clearly linked to a monument--a symbol of death--in this passage. Many people think of tributes to the dead or to fallen heroes when they think of monuments. Monuments are found in many cemeteries, often to remember the famous or dead who are buried there. Faulkner connects Emily to a '' fallen monument'', to reinforce the theme of decay, a reminder that all things will fall to ruin. Monuments will crumble, societies will falter, and Emily and the other townspeople will die.
Explanation:
Symbols of death are as pervasive as the fine dust that coats Miss Emily's house in this short story. The dust covers everything in Emily's house, and the men who go there to attempt to collect Emily's taxes notice that the hallway ''smelled of dust and disuse.'' When they are seated in the parlor, ''a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray.''
Dust coats everything in the secret room where Emily's horrifying secret is revealed and the townspeople learn that she has killed Homer Barron, her boyfriend, and kept his body. After Emily's neighbors break down the door of the secret room, they are shocked to see that ''What was left of him, rotted beneath what was left of the nightshirt, had become inextricable from the bed in which he lay; and upon him and upon the pillow beside him lay that even coating of the patient and biding dust.''

In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then."They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen. c;
