The correct answer and gothic element in "The Yellow Paper" (1892) that reflects a social attitude of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's time is D. John views his wife's concerns as unimportant and silly.

In this text, John makes decisions on his wife's behalf, which illustrates that she is not in control of her own fate. He rejects every suggestion made by his wife and wouldn't hear of it. The narrator says he is loving and would not let her stir without special direction. This was a usual element of gothic literature: the feeling of being trapped and unable to control one's own fate.

Sauron [17]

The correct answer is: a) These descriptions of nature symbolize freedom and possibility in Mrs. Mallard's life and perhaps an "awakening" from her grief or her repressed life as a married woman. These images also suggest that Mrs. Mallard's yearning for freedom is something natural.

Indeed, the description mentions the “tree tops aquiver with new life”. This is a beautiful example of the pathetic fallacy, since the blossoming of nature in spring is associated with Mrs. Mallard’s awakened emotions before the possibilities of freedom. She is also quivering due to the emotional turmoil associated to her realization. The fact that spring is traditionally associated with the renewal of life after the death of winter means that the symbolism here is used to express the fact that a new life awaits Mrs. Mallard.

Furthermore, the sky is more of less gray with several “patches of blue”. This of course brings attention to the fact that her life is momentarily gray with the death of her husband but that it is gradually opening up to sunnier, blue skies of personal freedom.

In a compound sentence, the comma is placed _[blank]_ the independent clause and _[blank]_ the coordinating conjunction.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Your answer would be D.

Explanation:

A compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as and, for, but, or a semi-colon. Independent clauses are made up of two phrases that can stand alone as a complete thought. They are not dependent upon one another, but they put together similar ideas. What is more, they contain three things: a subject, an action, and a complete thought (take 1).

1) I like reading, and I'm buying a new book on Friday

In the sentence above, you can see that the comma is placed after the independent clause (I like reading) and before the coordinating conjunction (and).
