First of all, you need to know what an appositive is.
It is a noun or a noun phrase that is used to modify, or refer to another noun which is usually located next to the appositive. In this case, the appositive phrase is Lucinda Gonzalez, because it modifies the noun <em>student.</em>
She demonstrates that women are just as strong as men.
She likely disagreed, since she believed that women could be just as strong and resilient as men.
1850's norm is the idea that women should be protected from the harsh realities of life
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
She held up her hands, strong, shapely hands, and surveyed them critically, drawing up her fawn sleeves above the wrists. Looking at them reminded her of her rings, which she had given to her husband before leaving for the beach. Which is the best evidence that “surveyed” means “looked at”?
The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.
The author uses a verb form of “to survey” instead of “to look” to help the reader visualize more clearly.
The author is describing a character’s strong, shapely hands, with missing rings on the fingers.
The author is describing a routine, personal exchange between a wife and her husband.
Answer:
The author uses both “surveyed” and “looking” to describe the narrator observing her hands.
Explanation:
It is very common for authors to give clues as to what a word means. Those are called context clues and can be used by readers to decipher a new or uncommon word without looking it up at a dictionary. In the passage we are studying here, the author Kate Chopin used two verbs to describe the same action. She first mentions how the character surveyed her own hands. In the sentence the immediately follows, she continues describing the same action, but now saying the character is looking at her hands. From that context clue, the reader can safely conclude that "survey" and "look at" refer to the same action and are, thus, synonyms in this context.
The wife of this story fits the archetype of the wicked stepmother. It is actually mentioned that she is the stepmother of Hansel and Gretel, but she is also cruel and mean to them.
When the family faced difficulties to procure daily bread, she proposes her husband to abandon their children in the forest to solve the problem. She is also cruel with Hansel when he said he was looking at his little white cat.
The wife is neither ingenuous nor a warrior.
