BUT REALLY
It’s showcasing how Kathy copes with her family’s death by rejuvenating their family’s old garden, which was left to rot and decompose as years after the deaths she moved out and started deteriorating and eventually had to be put in a psych ward - after 8 months she got released and now she’s reminiscing about her nostalgic childhood when her family was still around to care for her.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
There's an excerpt from the previous paragraph that reads as follows, "At the funeral, Joe Willow’s family cried, and old Fannie even fainted at the grave site when they started to cover him. "
This excerpt suggests that he's currently mourning the death of his friend one last time to the point of unconsciousness, probably saying a lot to himself in the process in order to cope with the fact of his loss.
It makes it seem darker and more dreary.
If you read the book you will understand! :D
