I'm not sure how to understand this question...
But if the question is asking about what the cat did, and how you would explain it?
or if they meant to explain that sentence...
if they mean to explain the sentence itself, I would say the answer is
A
But is they meant to tell about the next chapter, I would ASSUME the answer to be
B
I believe the sentence is too vague.
So personally I agree with Emerson in his statement because in our current society there is this standard for people to fit into this tiny mold of how someone should be. My motto is if everyone was the same the world would be boring, so I personally believe that we all need to be our own people in order to make our lives and others interesting. So yes I agree with Emerson.
