Answer:
B. Cheaper living costs of urban areas
Explanation:
Compared to those who attend rural schools, kids who go to urban schools have some advantages.
Kids who live in cities have a greater number of opportunities to pursue career interests. Poverty is an issue rural areas deal with more often than urban areas. This problem affects education as well. Many children have to help their parents, find a way to earn money early, which leads to a higher drop-out rate. College is often not an option.
Then, it is harder to find excellent teachers in rural areas, and one of the main goals of education is to broaden children's horizons. Children attending rural schools lack opportunities to experience fine culture.
Cities are a multicultural environment, which means that there is a great chance that people from a bigger variety of backgrounds can be encountered there. The case with rural areas is the opposite.
Out of the listed statements, the only incorrect statement is statement B, as living in urban areas is not cheap at all, especially compared to rural areas. Many parents from rural areas can't even afford to have their children move to the city in order to pursue education.
Answer:
Mrs. Mallard's death seems to paint a larger picture of how women in general, and married women in particular, have no freedom and the lack of their own identity and space.
Explanation:
Kate Chopin's short story <em>The Story of an Hour</em> tells the story of Mrs. Mallard, who seemingly had been without any freedom to be her own person under her husband's authority. And that was why she was happy and excited to hear of his death, with the woman thinking of her future where she will be now, her own person and do what she likes.
The position of being a wife seems to suffocate her, for she exclaimed that she is finally <em>"free, free, free!"</em> after learning of her husband's death. In the later passages, we find her thinking <em>"there would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature."</em> From now on, <em>"she would live for herself"</em>, which seems to paint a bigger picture of the condition of women in those times. But with the death of Mr. Mallard, all those restrictions are now gone.
But the ending shows Mr. Mallard returned safely and gave her such a shock that she died of a heart attack. The others thought that the shock of getting her husband safe was too much for her heart to take, but in reality, it was the realization that she is back to her former self was too much to take that her heart gave out. Her death again signifies that women have no such freedom to do anything, which is also why Mrs. Mallard's death was caused by.
The answer is D because a compound sentence doesn't have a comma or two simple sentences just put together. A compound sentence also doesn't have a semicolon. That eliminates all the choices but D.
