The answer is A. his embarrassment about the cause of his beloved father's death.
The story revolves around Jerome's father dying because he was crushed by a pig that fell from a balcony. Jerome used to idolize his father, perhaps partially because he also lost his mother when he was very young and his father was the only parent he had. As he grew older, he realized people's reactions to this event was laughter. He became embarrased, and this caused him angst.
The suitable word that can be used to replace the word "<em>rescinded</em>" in the passage is "<em>cancelled</em>."
The suitable replacement word is also called a synonym. In the passage "cancel" or "to take away" can replace "rescind," which is the root word of "rescinded."
This makes sense because the subordinating phrase "but the local officials have continued ..." that follows the main clause shows a negation of the action implied in the main clause. The antonym or opposite in meaning of the word "rescind" is "continue."
Thus, "cancel" or "take away" has similar meaning as the word "rescind" and can suitably replace it without changing the meaning.
