Answer 1

Answer:

markers guiding Janie on her life journey,

a vehicle for Janie's search for fulfilment.

Explanation:

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a novel written by Zora Neale Hurston. The novel is about Janie, which is told from the third-person point of view.

The setting in the novel changes twice, and so does Janie. The first setting of the story is Eatonville, where Janie feels oppressed. Whereas, in the second setting of the story, Muck, she feels free and natural.

After running away with Jody to Eatonville, Janie feels oppressed by Jody. Jody makes many restrictions upon her for being a Mayor's wife. But after Janie moves to Muck, she feels free and natural. She learns to shoot a gun, farming with men, and whatever she wants to do that will make her fulfilled.

Therefore, the settings in the story serve as markers guiding Janie on her journey and a vehicle for Janie's search for fulfilment. Thus option B and D are correct.
