Answer: The right answer is the A) Rukmani values her freedom and her close connection with nature.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this extract from <em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>, by Indian writer Kamala Markandaya, it is possible to infer that the protagonist, Rukmani, values her freedom and her close connection with nature, since she felt "desperately sorry" for people who could not enjoy the warm sun and the cool breeze directly upon their skin, or who could not go for a walk by themselves. Specifically, she is observing and reflecting upon the wives of the Muslim workers that had arrived to her village in order to build a tannery.
Having something painful happen in your life can feel horrible, but you may be able to succeed farther than a person that hasn't had something bad happen to them, because for you the only way to go it up. That doesnt mean that "the only way to go is up" all of a sudden youre going to feel awesome, its a gradual increase of happiness that can do enough to make you feel better every day. i hope that made sense lol
