Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.
For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.
In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."
The correct answer is The parrot opened its cage door itself and flew away
Explanation:
In grammar, the function of an intensive pronoun is to emphasize or refer back to a noun previously mentioned. Moreover, all intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves, which includes words such as herself, himself, themselves, among others.
In the case of the sentence "The parrot opened its cage door and flew away" this can be completed by adding the intensive pronoun "itself" that would emphasize the action of "the parrot". Also, this should be placed after the action "opened its cage" because this is the action that should be emphasized as it is unusual the parrot opened the cage without help. According to this, the sentence should be completed as "The parrot opened its cage door itself and flew away."
