The correct answer is B. An idiom

Explanation:

The word idiom refers to a word, phrase or group of words that are colloquially used in everyday and informal conversations and whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal meaning or the meaning of each individual word. This implies idioms message is not literary expressed and due to this, idioms can only understand from a figurative meaning or a non-literal meaning. In the case of "Shut your trap" this is a colloquial form to ask someone to stop talking, whose meaning is quite similar to the phrase "shut your mouth", however, instead of the word "mouth" the word "trap" is used to replace it and thus, the meaning of this phrase depends on the figurative meaning instead of the literal meaning as "trap" usually refers to an object or plan to trap something or someone, but in this case is being used to refer to mouth, thus, as these words are being used for colloquial contexts and their meaning rely on the figurative language rather than in the literal language "shut your trap" can be classified as an idiom.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The wallpaper in the “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman symb
Gemiola [76]
<span>QUESTION 1:  B. The narrator’s mental state.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator’s mental state. The narrator actually once describes the wallpaper has having a look like a broken neck and, too, mentions it looks like it committing suicide. The descriptions of the paper get odder and odder with regard aesthetics to eventually what can be interpreted as crazy, and this parallels the narrator’s steady decline into insanity. Because of this parallel, again, the wallpaper can certainly be said to symbolize the narrator’s mental state.

QUESTION 2: B. Feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape.

The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” projects her own feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper. As the story progresses, the narrator becomes less and less content with her status within the house/room with the yellow paper. As the story progresses, she begins to see a woman in the wallpaper behind what appear to her as bars. Thus, because the narrator desires to escape her situation as does the woman behind the bars in the wallpaper, it can be said that the woman she sees is a projection of feeling of being trapped and desire to escape.</span>
