The correct answer is the following: <em>option a. Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper" in the first-person point of view in order to depict a woman's mental breakdown naturally and objectively.</em>

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was an American novelist and a member of the feminist movement. She wrote the short story called "The Yellow Wallpaper" that was first published in January 1892. The story is based on the author's personal life, when after giving birth to her daughter, the author felt into a severe case of depression. Although "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a fictional work, it is based upon that personal even in Gilman's life.

That is why the use of the first-point of view is so important for the story. The author knew that by telling the story through the sufferer's point of view, the reader would be able to experience the same thoughts and emotions that the main character was suffering while falling into madness. She used the first-person point of view to describe in a natural and personal way the whole process of a mental breakdown.

The correct answer of this question is option D. Gilman wanted to illustrate to her readers how the rest cure could seriously damage a person. In the story, the narrator is highly imaginative but his husband does not want her to use her imagination. This forces the narrator to conceal her true feelings leading to her insanity.

horsena [70]

Based on my experiences and observations, the two phrases which should be considered when predicting what Paul will do in Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger are option D. "wracked with embarrassment and guilt" and option E. "hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians".

<h3>Who is the unexpected visitor in this story?</h3>

In the story Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger, the unexpected visitor is Paul's father.

Paul's father, in a grey business suit, baking in the August heat, visits his rebellious son to understand his situation.

He is happy that his son has become independent and decides to eat lunch with him.

<h3>What do the last actions of Paul suggest?</h3>

When Paul's father reaches up and ruffles Paul's hair, grinning at him, Paul quickly turns his head away, wracked with embarrassment and guilt, as he is ashamed of the fact that he had disobeyed his father and had discontinued helping him in his restaurant.

After that, "Paul ducked his head, hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians, and wheeled the rack of clothes down the sidewalk in the other direction." This shows that he doesn't want to encounter any other familiar faces and is ready to ditch his father from their appointed meeting to eat lunch together.

Therefore, the two phrases which should be considered when predicting what Paul will do in Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger are option D. "wracked with embarrassment and guilt" and option E. "hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians."

The principal will say, ’rules have to be followed at any cost (right in indirect form)​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The same structure, in indirect or reported form, would be:

The principal will say that rules have to be followed at any cost.

Explanation:

<u>When reporting what someone said, we must change the verb tenses according to when the line was said. If there are any pronouns in the sentence, those may also need to be changed to match the speaker - for instance, if a man said something about himself, we should change "I" for "he". We also change time expressions, such as substituting "today" for "that day".</u>

<u>Not much changes in the sentence we are transforming here since the line inside the quotation marks does not present time expressions or pronouns. Another reason for that is the verb tense. Because it is "will say", which is a future, we do not have to change the verb tense inside the quotation marks.</u>

Just to make it clearer, imagine that the principal already said that: The principal said, "Rules have to be followed at any cost." Now the tense is in the past, "said". In this case, we should also change the tense inside the quotation marks. It would be: The principal said that rules had to be followed at any cost.
