Answer: C. a relationship needs more than routine.
Explanation:
This question relates to short story, <em>The Egyptian Tomb </em>by<em> Beatriz Espejo</em>. In it we see a mother and daughter who have a routine Tuesday custom of going out to eat.
Inferences made in the passage show that both women are not particularly happy with the way this meeting keeps going as it feels like a mere routine that they abide by each time. This shows that for a relationship to truly be intimate or to have meaning, it needs to be more than just a routine that people get bored of and always look forward to an end of.
The correct answer is: A. Dramatic irony.
Negative connotation refers to a meaning that is implied and is not the literal meaning of the word or phrase. Metaphor is an implied comparison between two things that are not related. Personification on the other hand refers to the association of a nature or human characteristics to something that is nonhuman.
