<u>Answer:</u>

The King of Calydon contributes to the central conflict in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress" when he encourages Atalanta to sew with the women instead of hunt; this puts Atalanta at odds with the expectations of society. So, the correct answer option is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The central conflict is the gender conflict and behaviour found in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress." It is through the character of the king that the story shows the prejudice men have towards Atalanta or women in general. When he suggests Atalanta to sew with other women instead of hunting reflects the thought of men towards women. Also, the importance of behaving properly is highlighted irrespective of gender. When the king asks Atalanta to sew he not only demeaned her but also showed himself as a person who thinks gender is superior to behaviour.

The “winter dreams” of the story refer to the American Dream that Dexter<span> comes to embody, but success brings a high cost, and social mobility restricts Dexter’s capacity for happiness. Dexter is from humble origins: his mother was an immigrant who constantly struggled with the language of her adopted homeland. The central irony of the story is that realizing the American Dream yields bleak rewards. For example, when Dexter was a young caddy, he dreamed about success and wealth and the happiness they would bring. When he finally beats T. A. Hedrick in a golf tournament, however, the triumph brings him little joy. Dexter is able to transcend middle-class inertia but, despite his tireless efforts to advance his fortunes, forced to accept that money cannot buy happiness.</span>
