The correct answer is A.
In the story, the death of her husband would make Louise a widow. This means that she would have no obligation to re-marry, and therefore she would not have to submit herself to another man. Only then she would be free to do as she pleases.
It is very important that the setting of the story is during the nineteenth century because during that time, women were very dependant on men. They were oppressed and forced to stay home to run the household.
I believe the answer would be A. If the question is ‘from what line from the article does the author reveal how she would like others to respond to her lack of hearing?’ Then the answer would be A. She says that she ‘hated to be seen as inferior’ this suggests that the way she would like to see others respond is, not by acting like she is inferior, but acting as if she were any other person.
