Situational irony is when an event doesn't turn out as expected. Throughout the story, the reader expects Mr. Mallard to be dead so when he opens the door at the end it is situational irony. The story could still be ironic if he had actually been dead if Mrs. Mallard died at the end. Just when she gets her freedom to live for herself, she dies of a heart attack is situational irony because her death is unexpected in the plot line.
Answer: E. They are a conservative and pious community.
Explanation:
The opening description of the men whom were in “sad-colored garments”, “steeple-crowned hats” and “bareheaded” or hooded women simply shows that the characters were in a conservative and pious community.
The introduction to the Puritan society coupled with the "sad-colored garments" and steeple-crowned hats” shows that the community was dour, and judgmental and the community had people who were traditional, conservative and deeply religious.
Therefore, the correct option is E.
