Answer:
B. Unrefined
Explanation:
Are you sure your quote is correct?
The copy of the story I found has the following version of the excerpt:
"The other, astonished to be familiarly addressed by this plain good-wife, did not recognize her at all, and stammered:
"But—madame!—I do not know—You must have mistaken.""
Of the three answer choices, the second one, in my opinion, works best.
A little earlier in the story, we read this about Mathilde:
"Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had become the woman of impoverished households—strong and hard and rough. With frowsy hair, skirts askew, and red hands, she talked loud while washing the floor with great swishes of water."
Unrefined (i.e. uncultured, not characterized by good taste or manners) would definitely be a good word to describe Mathilde Loisel.
Question:
"<em>These natural laws are incontrovertible; . . . Those who resist them will be wiped out. Biology not only tells us about animals and plants, but also shows us the laws we must follow in our lives, and steels our wills to live and fight according to these laws. The meaning of all life is struggle.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>The excerpt above is an example of a false dilemma. Which of the following choices explains the logical fallacy in this excerpt, as well as the reason it fails to prove its point?"</em>
I think your answer would be:
- D. The excerpt contains no logical fallacies but uses true statements to persuade the audience of life’s common struggle.

Over the moon is an idiom.

I'm thinking a girdle furled is it being folded about and wraps around you and he's describing the ocean in this manner suggests something to do with the oceans wrapping around continents,ect. of the world, how we're protected in a sense. In full context of the poem though it seems the author is talking about god and faith as in "sea of faith" and how faith was once prominent surrounding all things and the bright girdle was to show how prominent it once was. good luck with english!
