Answer:
B. Unrefined
Explanation:
Are you sure your quote is correct?
The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:
"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:
"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""
Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.
A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:
"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while washing the floor with great swishes of water."
Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.

Answer: the answer is B
Explanation:
B.Wrote is in past tense which makes sense because Truvia wrote it last year
A. Should use have instead of has
D. Is talking in present tense which would use we’re instead of were
C. The correct way would be “is” Ulias favorite book because it’s one book and it’s in the present
(I might be wrong on my explanation for D)
The answer is A. Mercedes threw Andrea, Mercedes' best friend, a surprise party last night. This choice uses an appositive ("Andrea, Mercedes' best friend,") to combine the two sentences. An appositive is a phrase separated from the rest of the sentence by commas that describes something (in this case Andrea).
Choices B and C are incorrect because the uses of the words "but" and "when" to combine the sentences do not make logical sense. Choice D is incorrect because it uses a comma to combine the sentences without a conjunction, creating a run-on sentence.
Hope this helps!
