Answer:
The correct answer is A. herself, trapped in her life.
Explanation:
The narrator of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a mentally ill woman - or, at least, that seems to be what her husband thinks and convinces her of. Trapped in her life, in her house, she is advised to get as much rest as possible and to control her vivid and wild imagination. She ends up developing a fixation for the wallpaper on the walls, in which she sees a woman that is a representation of herself, of her feelings and desperation. In the excerpt, she describes how the woman tries to climb out of the pattern, just to be strangled and suffocated. She is, in reality, describing the way she feels when she tries to be herself but is suffocated by others, their expectations and impositions. Just like the woman she sees, she wants to break free.
Based on the line given above from the poem "Tattoo" written by Gregg Shapiro, the poetic device or technique used in the line is metaphor. Metaphor is a poetic device that uses comparison between two unlike objects. In this line, "We" is being compared to "continents" that are worlds apart.
Although there are no conjunctions in this sentence, I guess that the adverb where can be used as a "subordinating conjunction" in the sentence, because it connects the subordinate and the independent clauses.
