Answer:

A It emphasizes the lack of response: no answer was given at all.

Explanation:

In Herman Melville's <em>Bartleby the Scrivener</em>, the story revolves around the incompatibility of the narrator/ lawyer who hired Bartleby. But due to his 'weird' change in not heeding his boss's words, the narrator wonders why Bartleby suddenly decided to up and stop doing anything he's ordered to do.

Considering his previous work ethics and how he had diligently worked, completing all tasks assigned to him, the Lawyer was stupefied to find his requests refused. Bartleby's response of <em>"I would prefer not to" </em>for every request led the narrator unable to even scold him. Bartleby's calm yet firm response for all tasks and his slogan of <em>"I would prefer not to"</em> is the main focus of the story. And in consideration to that response, the use of the word <em>"not a word" </em>greatly emphasizes the lack or absolute absence of response from the expected man.

Remember that aesthetic is refered, in simple words,  as the theory of beauty. It is used a lot in art, in this case literature. To fulfil it's purpose some questions are asked. For example: What makes things beautiful? or Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how?

As you can see, this a very complex concept, philosophers, artists, and intelectuals continue debating on it's elements and characteristics. In this case we are talking about an aesthetic impact, that means a feeling that is inspired by the beauty of a story.

My answer would be: B. A woman who grew up poor strikes it rich with an innovation that helps others.

I chose this option because of the previous story that can be infered. We can infer she had a difficult time growing up, fighting against a lot of obstacles. Knowing that in the end she was able to overcome all that with the characteristic that she did it in a way she is helping others, makes the reader feel satisfied as he had joined her in her experiences through the story.
