4 0

Kate Chopin decided to introduce the protagonist as Mrs. Mallard rather than by her first name because she is an unhappy woman who is trapped in her marriage. She cannot set herself free and endures it until she receives the news that her husband has died in a train crash.

Initially she feels grief, followed by thoughts of freedom and years of happiness for herself, until her husband shows up and causes her a heart attack. In the end, she dies and we learn her first name: Louis.

yuradex [85]

Answer: A.

between change and to

Explanation:A modifier should be placed as close as possible to the thing that it is meant to modify. The clause "that you have collected over the years" is meant to modify "change." Therefore, the sentence should read, "Take the loose change that you have collected over the years to a self-service coin machine."
