Answer
Srimati’s beauty attracts the attention of a wealthy man. Without someone to protect her, she gives in to temptation and deserts her home and son.
Explanation:
In "The Poison Tree," the author develops the theme that beauty without morality is dangerous. In this story, we see that Srimati is a very beautiful woman, and this leads her to attract the attention of a wealthy man. She has no one to protect her, which means that she ends up giving in to temptation. This, moreover, leads her to abandon the house of Surja's father and her son Tara Charan.
The correct way to incorporate the quotation is A:
According to one source, " He [Abraham Lincoln] was a natural raconteur."
The double quotes are used in order to transfer the exact words of someone, so they need to be used before and after the phrase " He was a natural raconteur". The square brackets are usually used to add information that was not originally there, in order to clarify something. In this example, the writer wants to clarify that the personal pronoun "He" refers to Abraham Lincoln, so s/he adds his name using square brackets.
