Answer:
D. After she had been in a terrible accident, Lupita never again asked
to drive the car.
Explanation:
Alternative A cannot be correct because it does not form a complex sentence
Alternative B cannot be correct because the meaning is not retained. The two sentences have a connection of cause, which is not presented here.
Alternative C cannot be correct because, despite the meaning is correct, <em>she </em>and <em>Lupita </em>here denote two different persons, while they are supposed to be the same.
Alternative D carries all the required parameters and is the correct answers. The connection between the sentences is one of cause and effect, and <em>she </em>and <em>Lupita </em>refer to the same person.
I believe the correct answer is the hollow in which the Wright home sat.
The farmhouse was situated away from the rest of the city, in a hollow where nobody liked visiting. This is why obviously Mrs. Wright had no contact with the outside world. Here's a quote from the text:
<em>Mrs. Hale: I stayed away because it weren't cheerful [...]. I've never liked this place. Maybe because it's down in a hollow and you don't see it from the road. I dunno what it is but it's a lonesome place and always was.</em><span><em> (101)</em></span>
