Question:
Head coverings were probably the first forms of apparel put on by early humans, probably for protection from rain and sun. Hats for men have been considered proper fashion for centuries, but the popularity of hats, aside from baseball caps, declined in the second half of the 20th century. Now, in the early 21st century, the fashionable men's hat is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Led by styles such as the fedora and the panama, men are again choosing to add a "lid" to a stylish outfit when dressing up is required. Men are again finding that the hat is an accessory capable of expressing individuality and taste.

Answer:
The author uses an omniscient narrator to reveal the thoughts and motivations of both characters.
Explanation:
Kate Chopin's novel "The Awakening" revolves around the character of Edna Pontellier and her struggle to be sexually and emotionally free from the constraints of society and what is expected of her. The story deals with themes of gender, with how women are perceived to be at home and Edna's desire for freedom to do whatever she wants and to enjoy, have fun in her life.
In the given passage from the text, the narrator is an omniscient voice that the author used to reveal the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the scene. This allows the readers an insight into what each character feels and makes the story have multiple windows from which one can view the events. The narrator presents both Edna's thoughts as well as Arobin's.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Explanation:
Since nothing is underlined, I am going to make an educated guess that the underlines clause is "who had worked with the business person". If that is the case, the correct answer would be D - adjective clause. It is a relative clause, to be more precise, because it starts with a relative pronoun "who", but that is a part of adjectival clauses, so that is the correct answer.
