Near the end of "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter," the speaker describes how she is hurt by seeing the "paired butterflies,"

which are "already yellow with August." How do these details develop the idea that time and maturity can allow love to develop between two people?
****A. They show that, even when two people are mature enough to be in love, separation and time can cause their feelings to change and dim and wither.
B. They show that the speaker is still immature, which is why real love has not yet developed between her and her husband.
C.They suggest that the speaker is no longer the innocent girl or the bashful bride she once was, and she wants to be paired again with her beloved husband.
D.They suggest that the beauty of the natural world is fleeting and cannot compare to the lasting beauty of two mature people who love one another.

Answer:

This details from <em>The River Merchant's Wife</em> suggest that <em>the speaker is no longer the innocent girl or the bashful bride she once was, and she wants to be paired again with he beloved husband.</em> <u>The correct answer is C.</u>

Explanation:

By reading these lines, we can understand how the speaker feels about being older and in love. She feels different now from what she used to be when she was young, and she desires to reconnect with her partner, with her love. She has grown up and is hurt when she sees "<em>paired butterflies</em>" that are "<em>already yellow with August</em>" because she wishes her and her husband could fall in love all over again, but in this time of their lives, being grown ups and mature.

user100 [1]
The best answer is 
<span>The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.

While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience. 
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "</span><span>It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group. </span>
