Answer:
Victory
Explanation:
The poem “Success is counted sweetest” by Emily Dickinson reflects the idea that the true victory in life comes from loss and defeat. Dickinson speaks of this message through the depiction of the battlefield.
The Purple Host is the army who has conquested the other side – they have succeeded in victory in the battle. Yet, <u>Dickinson is sure that the Purple Host and those under its flag can actually appreciate and enjoy the victory full as the ones who nearly have won the battle</u><u>. Only defeat and the nearness of triumph that slipped away bring the full significance of the success.</u>
<u>Therefore, even if the Purple Host has achieved the wanted victory, Dickinson does not think they have achieved success. </u>

Second, that she has a cousin, Colin, a sickly boy who has been told he must remain in bed out of the daylight at all times.

Feeding them well is the answer
Answer:
Part A: C. Constancia doesn’t realize the effect that her actions have on others
Part B: C. ”I don’t understand why she’s so upset"
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Judith Ortiz Cofer's short story "Abuela Invents the Zero".
Although no specific dialogue is cited in the question, I'm assuming it refers to the dialogue between Constancia and her mother at the end of the story.
Constancia's grandmother comes to a visit and, being a Catholic, she wants to attend the Sunday mass. It is decided that Constancia will escort her to the church since her mothet is sick and her father stays to take care of her.
Constancia accepts reluctantly but the situation only gets worse when she feels embarrassed by her grandmother's appearance and behaviour at the church.
When Abuela gets lost in the church, Constancia doesn't help her at all, not wanting people to see them together.
This selfish act hurt Abuela so she doesn't speak to Constancia on their way home nor she accepts her help with walking.
This only shows that Constancia only cared about how her grandma embarrassed her and what her friend would say of this; she didn't care about her Abuela's feelings or helping her.
This can also best be seen from her excuses when mother confronts her and she still seems unaware of the fact she hurt her grandmother's feelings.
