Answer:
A. "No. My scissors are all sharp"
Explanation:
"Chrysanthemums" is a short story that features the lonely and boring life of Elisa Allen. She feels her life is frustrated and undervalued as all the things she dreamed of never happened and seems lost to her. Elisa has never been able to have a child and feels that her husband does not love her or even support her. Furthermore, she has no freedom and lives in an endless monotony, using gardening as the only way to stay distracted. Elisa is very impatient when a man insists on selling her scissors. She doesn't want new scissors as this is irrelevant to her life and all the frustrations she experiences. For this reason, she speaks impatiently, expressing all her frustration that she doesn't need scissors, as all the ones she has are already sharp.
