Question

From "The Locket" Which quotation best reflects a central idea in this story?

Answer 1

Answer:

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."
