Answer:

Symbolism

Explanation:

Symbolism, as a figurative language, invests objects, traits, colors, animals, etc. with a symbolic meaning that is different from their actual form. In the excerpt, the black box aims to represent another concept, perhaps, it represents how things or beings become old, weary or less attractive with the passage of time.

The other options are incorrect because the passage does not make any comparison (metaphor or simile), and there are no objects nor animals with human attributes (personification).

PART B: What effect does the resolution have on the overall meaning of the passage? (for The Yellow Wallpaper)
Mashcka [7]

Though the passage is not provided, the resolution that takes place at the end of the story signifies the narrator's realization of not wanting to live in seclusion, and tear's apart from the yellow wallpaper (assuming she is freeing a lady trapped behind it) and starts creeping on the floor, imitating the free woman, and ultimately climbs upon her unconscious husband, signifying she raising above him.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The story expresses a woman's trapped feelings after giving birth to a child. Her helpless and disorientation of a new phase of life, with a grand responsibility which she has to take up, rearing a child.

In the story, the narrator is found to be undergoing postpartum depression, and how her husband denies her to indulge in things she wishes to do as a course of treatment, as he thinks she has hysteria tendency.

However, remaining in seclusion is doing more harm than treating her, and she starts hallucinating that there is a woman trapped within the yellow wallpaper of the room.

She free's the woman in the end and expresses her own freedom to her husband and climbs over him as he faints and expresses her victory over him.
