Answer:

A. Josephine wants her to open the door.

Explanation:

The given question refers to<em> </em><em>The Story of an Hour</em><em>, </em>a short story written by Kate Chopin. It 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 because she is now free. However, it soon turns out that her husband is alive, and he quickly returns home. Her joy turns to shock at the sight of him, which results in her death.

In literature, an external conflict is a struggle that takes place between the main character and some outside force - e.g. other character or society. The external conflict Mrs. Mallard faces is Josephine, her sister, wanting her to open the door. Josephine is concerned about her health, but Louise wants her to go away. We can see this in the following excerpt:

<em>Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhold, imploring for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door--you will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise? For heaven's sake open the door." </em>

<em> "Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window.</em>

Answer:

Explanation:

Right Pane.

We are back to Ivan. We found out how he felt about getting married. He was not thrilled, he was not head over heals. He was ... accepting. He was cold blooded like a reptile. He weighed carefully what he thought were her virtues.

  • She was passable good looking.
  • She had property, and he hoped income.
  • She was acceptable to the society he lived in.
  • What's not to like? So he married.

The third one is not a big consideration, but it is a consideration. The fact that she was proper added to what he thought of her.

So what to pick?

The last three are not mentioned. So they are not a consideration. He doesn't say, for example, that he yearns for company.

Is there a comment in there about the middle class? Not even inferred. So B is incorrect.

Though it is a minor consideration, A has to be your answer.

Center Pane

Terror, aborrance, decay, suggestive shadows. All these things are present. But he is also thrilled by them. Complex man. He appeals to us for the same reason some people go to horror movies just to be scared out of their minds.

I'd pick B but you could defend at least 3 of them.

Left Pane

I'd pick the first and the last.

You haven't got time to do much else. Certainly the 3rd one is out of the question. I don't think you should be doing the fourth one. Let your essay do that for you. And the second one is almost irrelevant at this point.

First and last.
