I believe the answer is: A. "I am sorry," he said, and patted me on the shoulder with his good hand. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me."
The word resign indicates accepting some sort of feeling or situation that cannot be ignored or pushed aside. From the sentences in option A, we can infer that the reader already accept the fact that his wife has died and acknowledge that his emotion is influenced by it.

In this story, illness -specifically mental illness- is seen as temporary, and is not taken seriously. This is seen at the very beginning of the story, when the narrator indicates that her husband (a doctor) does not believe that she is truly ill. When a person is experiencing mental illness in this story, they are also believed to be cured by rest, exercise, and fresh air. Rather than today's methods of therapy and/or medication, the story describes merely taking a break from work and going away until one seems to be better.
After reading the short story "The Night Oak Street Burned Down," we can say that the reason why Sarai views the Visitors differently than her neighbors is:
C. Sarai understands how it feels to be different.
<h3>Who are the Visitors and why are they different?</h3>
- The Visitors are aliens who have moved to our planet. They can make themselves look like humans, and the government has allowed them to live here, as long as they share their technology.
- Even though they look human, people still hate and fear them. Sarai understands how it feels to be different, which is why she does not view the Visitors like others do.
- Sarai's family was the only black family in the neighborhood. When they moved there, Sarai felt like an outsider, and people did not make an effort to get to know her and her family.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option.
The missing options for this question are:
A. Sarai and her family are Visitors, too.
B. Max and Sarai have the same interests.
C. Sarai understands how it feels to be different.
D. Max is the only neighbor who welcomed Sarai.
