*It doesn't specify a complete thought.
16. It refers to the wallpaper (c). You can infer this because the first few paragraphs she is describing something acrid and yellow, and follows it up with “He laughs at me so about this wallpaper” (paragraph 6).
17. The capitalization of REASON is the narrator implying that her husband thinks that she is irrational (A). The narrator is trying to convey that her husband believes that her life is great and that she has no reason to be upset and the fact that she is upset is irrational.
18. Her relationship with her husband is strained (B). Clearly the narrator and her husband have been arguing about the wallpaper and the reason why she is upset.
19. We can infer that the narrator is suffering from mental illness (C). She is having delusions that the wallpaper is causing her to suffer greatly. When someone is worrying, paranoid, or upset about nothing you can infer that they have a mental illness of some sort.
20. “Such fancies” refers to being so nervous about her situation. The husband doesn’t want to redecorate the room because he doesn’t want to encourage her delusions further; he believes that she should just get over it and stop being so outlandish over nothing.

In Steinbeck's The Pearl, Kino could be considered to be the cause of his own downfall. Had Kino heeded the warnings and advice of his wife, Juana, regarding the Pearl of the World, he would not have found himself in situations that put himself and his family in danger. Now the tension which had been growing in Juana boiled up to the surface and her lips were thin. "This thing is evil," she cried harshly. "This pearl is like a sin! It will destroy us," and her voice rose shrilly. "Throw it away, Kino. Let us break it between stones. Let us bury it and forget the place. Let us throw it back into the sea. It has brought evil, Kino, my husband, it will destroy us." And in the firelight her lips and her eyes wer alive with her fear. In addition, Kino was unwilling to accept the offers of those who would have bought the pearl from him. It is true that he was being treated cruelly when not being presented with fair offers for the pearl, but he could have accepted something and been better off than he was.
