Answer:
The narrator was deeply impacted about the death of his daughter because he wanted to find a way to bring peace to her death by enacting the policy of killing all the cats and dogs,<em> healthy or infected,</em><em> (since no one really knew which one was infected</em><em>) </em>within the village's vicinity. Somehow, focusing on this extreme measure made him comfortable at the thought that <u>no father or mother would experience having his son or daughter killed by an animal in the future.</u>
Explanation:
The question is related to the story entitled "The Red Bow," written by <em>George Saunders</em>.
It tells a story about a family whose daughter was killed by dogs. In order to ensure that the village would be safe from infected dogs who'd do the same incident in the future, they enacted a policy that all cats and dogs will be killed in the area with the help of the <em>"Animal Removal Officers."</em> Objecting the rule would bring about <u>penalties.</u>
Okay, an antecedent of a pronoun is always a noun, so immediately you can reject the words late and wandered as incorrect answers, because late is an adjective, and wandered is a verb. This leaves us with two nouns, guests and party. Obviously, the pronoun several refers to the noun guests, so the correct answer is guests - that is the antecedent that corresponds with the pronoun. Several guests, not several parties.
The answer is B... Whenever someone is looking at statistics they always want to know if the info is reliable.
