C, because through out the story it reflects back on him being in disguise and how else would she let him in let alone a stranger
In O'Brien's excerpt those sentences are: <span>In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This sentence evokes a bodily reaction and calls it "the reality". It is not just imagined; it really happens. </span><span>I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. It's as if his body has its own way of processing the distressing information. He feels a very specific kind of nausea, triggered by his mental processes.
In Steinbeck's excerpt it's these sentences: </span><span>In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. They describe a very physical reaction, which is a product of emotional distress. It's as if the body is trying to defend the whole system from detrimental factors.</span>
I never imagined that we would live in a moment like this, where we find ourselves totally defenseless, against an invisible and very dangerous threat. Six months ago our life was different, we could meet our friends, get out of the case, go to parties, cinemas, in short; we were free. At that time I had difficulties in seeing the privilege of freedom and happiness, but the last two months have made me a changed human being.
I had a hard time finding happiness in the small things in life. Always expect to feel the general concept of happiness, which is something very difficult to achieve and that's why I always felt unhappy, because I didn't have, like most people, complete happiness. However, with the arrival of the coronavirus, we saw our lives threatened, our routines changed and our liberties limited, since in the name of our health, we should stay at home.
This period allowed me to rethink my own concepts, I was able to change terrible opinions that I didn't have time to reflect because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Those two months changed my perception of the world and of myself. I hope that this reflexive moment that my life took turns me, really, into a better human being, more conscious and rational, so that when our lives return to normal, I can be someone who makes positive differences in the lives of everyone around me.
