According to the grammar rule regarding numbers, when a compound number is written out, or a fraction is used as an adjective, these should be written using a hyphen between its components. In this case, our support is the latter as <em>one-third</em> is a fraction and not a compound number.

Therefore, your best answer is option C.

Second,.<em>."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."</em>Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. <em>you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable</em> <em>mothers.."</em>The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat<em>."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those </em>h to prevent other deaths.
