Which sentence in this excerpt from “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman suggests that, despite her growing insani

ty, the narrator still retains some awareness of what society expects of her? I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner—but it hurt my teeth. Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it! All those strangled heads and bulbous eyes and waddling fungus growths just shriek with derision! I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try. Besides I wouldn't do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued. I don't like to look out of the windows even—there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast.

The sentence would be "I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued".

Look at the word choice in the sentence: "improper" and "misconstrued."

Misconstrued means to interpret someone's actions or words in a way that was not the original meaning.

The narrator knows that society will look at her as odd if she jumps out the window, so she doesn't.

NARA [144]

The second half of "History in the Making" contributes to the development of the theme that teamwork can make the impossible happen: by explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight.

In that passage, we learn how John Lee watched excitedly as the first aircraft was set in motion.

The Wright brothers and the other engineers on ground cooperated in setting the tracks that led to the flight of the first aircraft. Their cooperation made the seemingly impossible, possible.

Through their efforts and cooperation, we now have aircraft that can transport people across the world.

Explain why this quote is meaningful.
Art [367]

"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy."

I'd say this quote is meaningful in a sense that Ralph wanted to bring an end to innocence and the darkness that dwells in one's heart. "and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy." I think this line means that he also wanted true and honest people to fall, being call "wise friend called piggy" I think means that when he is "wise" this isn't meant to be taken seriously. This is a sarcastic wkrd to describe him, for he is in fact not wise, because he wants to basically bring the end to all good that would come to man. I also chose (C) Connect because I have connected the meaning of the quote to the reader.
