Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence that best explains how the excerpt is evidence of an emerging theme that is central to the novel is "A wife suffers the disapproval of her husband for making an independent decision."

Explanation:

"The Awakening" by Kate Chopin is the story of a woman, whose husband is so focused at work that he starts to set aside his relationship with his wife, this makes her spend more and more time with her friend who is a creole and teaches her a lot of things about freedom of expression which is the main topic of the story and these excerpts are a representation of that.

A wife suffers the disapproval of her husband for making an independent decision.

This is the answer because the wife is clearly unhappy that the husband did not come and talk to her before going out.
