Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>

STALIN [3.7K]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "The leap" by louise erdrich.

Answer:

With the phrase "only the blank scar tissue of a quieter future", the author wishes to convey that although the narrator's mother had a troubled past, her future would be built for tranquility.

Explanation:

"The leap", introduces us to a narrator who is also the main character, who has to take care of his mother, who is now blinded by cataracts.

The narrator's mother has had terrible experiences that almost took her life, but she struggled, she was smart, brave and today, despite her vision problem, she is a great survivor. She had a very troubled and difficult life, however, although the future is a surprise, the narrator believes that surprises will bring more tranquility and calm to his mother's life.
