It is logical to infer that Mrs. Sommers avoided "such morbid retrospection" because a) she wanted to stay focused on her daily activities.  

<u>Explanation:</u>  

In the short story ‘The Silk Stockings’ by Kate Chopin, Mrs. Sommers was a one-time rich lady born into a poor family where she had to do all her household chores and look after her children.

Though she had seen better days as per her neighbors, but then she didn’t go into any morbid retrospection as she didn’t want to think of her past days as that wouldn’t help her at all in her present life. She wanted to work hard and spend money on her family and that too economically. So option a is the right answer.

Lerok [7]
1. The phrase that directly states the purpose of the Declaration of Independence is "declare the causes". That is precisely what this document did - it declared the causes for American people to break loose of British colonialism and domination, and to claim their political independence and self-determination.

2. The theme of this passage is best described as: "the British legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction over the colonies". The British colonial politics have transcended the boundaries, endangering the Americans' right to self-governance. That is precisely why the Americans wanted to become independent.

3. These lines are an example of ethos. Jefferson uncovers a deep ethical problem that is the basis of the British domination <span>of </span>America. He says that Americans had petitioned (therefore, they had made formal requests, they had tried all the peaceful procedures), but instead of being answered, they had suffered an even greater oppression. His conclusion that such a prince is a tyrant is ethical in nature.

4. These lines are an example of a thesis. He proclaims that they are declaring freedom and independence, so this is a thesis that needs to be explained, argued, expounded - which the document does further below. This statement is a premise which has yet to be proved with facts and arguments.

5. I believe these lines are an example of pathos. He says that people are prone to tolerating their own suffering, in order not to change the situation they are accustomed to. Pathos, as a rhetorical technique, is supposed to provoke an emotional reaction with the listeners/readers. In this case, the audience would identify with the sufferers from the passage, but would also get scared that their suffering might not come to an end. This emotional reaction is supposed to provoke action and support for Jefferson's ideas.
