The critics think of Kate Chopin’s work during her life time
is that it was able to send out a message that the main character of the story
which is Mrs. Mallard, she was able to represent woman in our world today who
have hidden their feelings by staying silent in a way where she is unhappy and
are trapped in their own little world.
I believe the answer is C. thorough.
It's all about context clues. Careful is most similar to thorough and makes the most sense.
