I believe its D. The author provides commonsense examples to refute the counterclaim :)
The word in the sentence which the underlined phrase
modifies is:
D. Marcella
<span>The phrase adds an idea where the noun “Marcella”
is resting. Therefore it answers the question “where”. This is an example of
prepositional phrase which functions as an adjective. </span>

Answer:
The meaning of this excerpt is:
A) The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s.
Explanation:
Hester Prynne is the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter", published in 1850. The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600s. <u>Hester has a child as a result of an affair, which leads to her being publicly humiliated. She is forced to wear a scarlet A in her chest, as a sign of her sin - adultery. Still, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, there are those who think of this as a light sentence. The woman who is speaking believes matters such as the one involving Hester should fall into her own hands and the hands of other pious women. They should be the ones punishing, choosing the sentence of women like Hester. </u>
The story is about "George Orwell's". He want to express his military life, when first time he got rifle in his hand. They were marching, and he was thinking like a normal guy as he just joined the Military, that what if... he does this or this? This expresses the fear, excitement, respect in his heart for his profession, and he loves it.
Hope this helps!
