Answer:
2nd one: To show how important and powerful one's home is.
Explanation:
The last one. The last answer choice and the excerpt from the passage display someone's abilities being overlooked because of gender.
In the story Sasanian the King of India and China, decided to marry a virgin every day and have her executed the next day, to avoid infidelity. The Vizier's daughter Scheherazade was forced to marry the king, because he was not able to find any other virgins. Survival for Scheherazade becomes the main objective in her tale telling to the king. Every night she would tell a story to the king and did not tell the end until the next night, therefore avoid her being executed, then the following night she would end the previous tale and started a new one and left the end untold. That process continued for 1001 nights.
A descriptive passage that might reveal more information about Silas could be the following;
<span>"Strangely Marner’s face and figure shrank and bent themselves into a constant mechanical relation to the objects of his life, so that he produced the same sort of impression as a handle or a crooked tube, which has no meaning standing apart. The prominent eyes that used to look trusting and dreamy, now looked as if they had been made to see only one kind of thing that was very small, like tiny grain, for which they hunted everywhere; and he was so withered and yellow, that, though he was not yet forty, the children always called him “Old Master Marner.” (chapter 2)
</span>From this excerpt, the reader might get to know that he lives a mechanical life in the industrialized world so he seems to be dehumanized just for the fact that he lives to work and get money. It could be also perceived that his eyesight had been damaged because of work but his ability to see goes beyond the literal meaning of it. he is also deteriorated both physically, mentally and spiritual
