Leokris [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A) Empty idealism .

Explanation:

William Dean Howell's short story "Editha," tells the story of the titled character and how her glorious perception of the war led her fiancé to join the war. And because of her romanticized perception of the war led to the death of the fiancé.

In the given passage from the story, the narrator reveals how Editha had changed from her <em>"glorified" </em>belief of the war. She had initially romanticized the war but after her fiancé had been killed, she now believes that the sacrifice was needed, <em>"parroting the current phrases of the newspapers."</em> Her opinions and beliefs change with the change in narration or reports of the media. This shows her empty idealistic beliefs in the war.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.
