c. Ms. Pugh has been through a lot.
Explanation:
In the short story "Ursula Pugh," the speaker/ narrator mentioned in the first paragraph about the protagonist Ursula Pugh. The short yet informative detail describes how Ms. Pugh had changed so drastically.
In that first paragraph, Ms. Pugh is described as someone who's been through a lot. The speaker reveals, <em>"At an earlier time in her life, Ursula Pugh was – before injuries, before a disastrous marriage, before the death of her beloved sister – a glorious dancer."</em> The fact that the narrator uses <em>"was"</em> and <em>"at earlier times"</em> signifies that whatever Ms. Pugh was before, she no longer is now. And the <em>"injuries, ... disastrous marriage... death of her beloved sister"</em> are all hard times for Ms. Pugh.
