Answer:

Holden exhibits more than one of the stages of grief.

Explanation:

The Catcher in the Rye is a book written by J. D. Salinger. It is about Holden Caulfield, who is the main character, and how he deals with his brother's death, Allie.

About grief, there are seven stages, which are denial, depression, anger, bargaining, guilt, reconstruction, and acceptance.

Holden shows a lot of anger, specially when he breaks the windows in the garage in his house, showing that he is angry about the fact that his brother is dead and keep denying it. He uses strong vocabulary to describe this episode and curses when he narrates it.

Holden also faces denial and depression when he has to accept that his brother won't be there anymore, even though he wants to keep the bond they had when they were children.

In this two episodes, we can see that Holden is facing, at least, three of the stages of grief.

Miss Stephanie Crawford crossed the street to tell the latest to Miss Rachel. Miss Maudie bent over her azaleas. It was summertime, and two children scampered down the sidewalk toward a man approaching in the distance. The man waved, and the children raced each other to him.
It was still summertime, and the children came closer. A boy trudged down the sidewalk dragging a fishingpole behind him. A man stood waiting with his hands on his hips. Summertime, and his children played in the front yard with their friend, enacting a strange little drama of their own invention.
It was fall, and his children fought on the sidewalk in front of Mrs. Dubose’s. The boy helped his sister to her feet, and they made their way home. Fall, and his children trotted to and fro around the corner, the day’s woes and triumphs on their faces. They stopped at an oak tree, delighted, puzzled, apprehensive.
Winter, and his children shivered at the front gate, silhouetted against a blazing house. Winter, and a man walked into the street, dropped his glasses, and shot a dog.Summer, and he watched his children’s heart break. Autumn again, and Boo’s children needed him.
<span>Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.</span>

The answer is B because it puts a coma in the correct spot to pause between the first half of the sentence and the second. The others either randomly placed a period, using the wrong word choices, or made it a run on sentence. :)
