One central idea of the story is young love and how it powerful it can be at giving hope so Option A is a quotation that represents that: "The soul of her youth clamored for its rights; for a share in the world's glory and exultation."
Explanation:
The story The Locket by Kate Chopin revolves around the love between her and Edmond. She had gifted him a locket with a picture of her parents and Edmond believed it brought him luck on the battlefield. Octavie believes that Edmond is dead because her locket was found on a dead soldier. Octavie's grief also seems to be because her relationship with Edmond was not formal and that in some way her rights to love him were being denied in the scene when she is with Edmond's father (reinforced by his authority as a judge): "Octavie felt a little hurt; as if he wished to debar her from share and parcel in the burden of affliction which had been placed upon all of them."
I say this because, she is comparing the path to clichés and a metaphor is comparing 2 things using like or as and a simile is comparing 2 things WITHOUT using like or as. Hope this helps <3 -A middle schooler
My reason being is because a direct object is a group of words representing the person or thing upon which the action of a verb is preformed or toward which it is directed.
