Answer:

New beginning

Explanation:

The Story of an Hour is a short story written by Kate Chopin. The story tells about Louise Mallard, who receives the news that her husband, Brently Mallard, has died. At first, she grieves but then realizes that she is happy that her husband is gone. She no longer has to live the life of oppression and is now free. This realization brings her joy. However, it soon turns out that her husband is alive, and he quickly returns home. Her joy turns to shock at the sight of her husband, which results in her death.

The details in the given passage symbolize a new beginning. Spring is often used as a symbol of new life, of a new beginning. It's the beginning of a new cycle of seasons, and nature comes back to life after a cold, harsh winter. The protagonist sees this new life through her window, looking forward to her own new beginning, which she doesn't receive in the end.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

Charra [1.4K]

Clarification:

I found the complete instructions for the exercise online:

On the night of December 12th, Ms. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving her son's hockey game at the Fordham Center. The fall resulted in a broken wrist, which has caused Ms. Graves pain and suffering in addition to medical bills totaling $1,085. The Fordham Center should be held responsible for her injury. A spokesperson for the Fordham Center says that the parking lot was salted at 2:00 that afternoon and they could not have predicted the cold temperatures that night. However, weather reports did war of freezing temperatures, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.

How does the author respond to the counterclaim?

A. By illustrating how the injury affected Ms. Graves's ability to work

B. By explaining how salt prevents water from freezing on sidewalks

and parking lots

C. By suggesting that Ms. Graves's injury was caused by slipping on

the ice

D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against

freezing temperatures

Answer:

D. By showing that other businesses took precautions against

freezing temperatures

Explanation:

This is a reading comprehension activity. To complete this exercise, you have to read the text given and then choose the correct option. In this case, it is "D" because Fordham Center's excuse is that they did not know it was going to be freezing in the evening, however, other businesses knew and took precautions.
