Read the following excerpt from Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," in which the protagonist, Louise Mallard, is contemplating

her life after learning of the death of her husband.
No; she was drinking the very elixir of life through that open window. Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.

Based on the excerpt, what does the open window come to symbolize for Louise?

a.)Nature; staring out the window helps Louise reconnect with nature and, in the process, rediscover her family’s identity now that she’s without a husband.

b.)Escape; staring out the window is a means of escaping from the monotony and tediousness of life that Louise experiences on a regular basis.

c.)Independence; staring out the window makes her aware of the life that lies before her, as well as the personal liberty she has within her reach.

d.)Sadness; staring out the window evokes a feeling of sadness within her as she views the world moving on, while she is stuck in her house without the comfort of her husband.

e.)Opportunity; staring out the window opens her eyes to the economic possibilities life presents, even when confronted with hardships and tragedies.

Themselves

This reflexive pronoun is the best fit because it needs to agree with the antecedent--in this case "scholars". Because scholars is plural, the pronoun also needs to be plural. Themselves is a plural reflexive pronoun, so it will properly complete the sentence.

What does the morality play Everyman say about fate and free will? Develop a short response using examples from the text to supp
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The morality that "Everyman" presents is that free will allows individuals to create their destiny, but that they are not controlled, nor dependent on that destiny, thus being free.

Explanation:

"The Somonyng of Everyman" is a play that was written to promote Christian values and as such, reflects that God does not have his children and servants as slaves, because God made humans to be free and to own their own destinies and decisions. With that, we can see that the protagonist, Everyman, who represents humanity, makes his own decisions, decides which paths to follow, who to face and who to make friends with. With that, Everyman demonstrates the domain of free will and the ability to build his destiny, but without depending on it and adapt as necessary.
