The chapter talks about the agrarians who were ruined by industrialization. Industries and technology pushed them on the roads. They moved in search of food and to give their families a meal to survive.
Parallelism has been employed at places to underline the misery, the dejection and distress.
For instance, in one of the paragraphs, just to stress on the simplicity of the agrarian folks before they were brought near to doom: ‘a simple agrarian folk who had not changed …….. who had not farmed. They had not grown up….’
This repetition of phrases and clauses is parallelism. The chapter is replete with such examples. It lends it unity and realism and appeals to emotions.
The conflict is the character is not happy and feels like not many people are happy and can stay happy where they are. The character is sad about the conflict.
The best possible answer would seem to be C.
What this excerpt about Hecuba suggests about her state of mind is that she is deeply distraught by the sight of her murdered husband. Hamlet describes a scene when Hecuba saw Pyrrhus killing her husband before her own eyes, and was devastated by the scene. He probably uses this scene to allude to the murder of his own father and the grief his mother felt / should have felt.
