Answer:

She is trying to elicit his sympathy for her.

Explanation:

In her conversation with Gus Trenor, Lily Bart tried to elicit his sympathy for her by narrating the financial troubles she was facing. She narrated to him how she was coerced by Judy to marry a money bag known as Gryce to escape her financial woes. Her self-respect and integrity, however, would not allow her to yield to such an alliance. She rather resolved to go and live with her aunt Richfield.

Trenor was really moved by the story and his sympathy made him volunteer to help Lily Bart invest her money in the stock market. He was an expert in such matters and he believed he could help Lily Bart to get great gains from the investment.

Which following examples represent a flat character
erik [133]

D is not your answer. Someone who is bitter and exhausted has learned something that made them bitter and exhausted. They have changed.

C is not your answer. We have a hook here. We're drawn in to find out why she is different. That's not a flat character.

A is not your answer. These twins have a conflict. It is a natural way to develop a story.

B as charming as he sounds, his charm and wit lead us nowhere. He is a foil for the main character. Our pleasure in him is only momentary. B is the answer.
