Answer: The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge.
Explanation:
The option that best summarizes the central idea of this excerpt is option B "The mayor commemorates and gives praise to those who were killed while building the bridge".
This can be seen in the excerpt when the Mayor of the city of Brooklyn said they should recall with kindness the work of the people who contributed to the building of the bridge but had died.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
These contradictory descriptions can be reconciled because they capture both sides of what Hester has become because of her experiences. She is seen as pure, warm, and tender, because she has turned her life around. She is pleased to have her daughter, she helps others in the community, and people have begun to see her as a better person.
She is also seen as cold, because she has to carry the burden of holding a secret (the identity of her husband), and cannot be with the man she wants to be with.
C: suffering often builds character
