Answer:
Hana-Saki-Jiji is fighting envy.
Explanation:
"The Story of the Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Flower" shows a couple who have to deal with the envy and evil of their neighbors. That's because this couple gets many blessings and valuable things in their lives, through their dog. However, the jealous neighbor tries to get these blessings for him and ends up destroying everything good that the blessed neighbors have.
I think the answer is D, he talks about his soul never being able to get back up again, that sounds hopeless. I thought maybe B, because he talks about his hopes flying based off of someone leaving him before. But, D sounds like it fits better to me.
Montresor tells all of his servants that they must stay in the house. He also tells him that he is going out and will not return until much later. Since the story takes place during a popular festival, the servants want to leave and join the partying. Montresor knows that if he tells the servants he won't be back for a while the servants will leave the house anyways. Since he is not there to make sure that they are doing what he's asked, the servants will go off and do whatever they want.
