The epitaph of Mrs. Purkapile is part of Edgar Lee Masters'<em> "Spoon River Anthology". </em>It was published in 1915. This is a sequence of 245 free-verse epitaphs that are presented in the form of monologues. They are written from the point of view of deceased citizens of a small town.
The correct answer is option C: "<em>And out of respect for my own character / I refused to be drawn into a divorce."</em> These lines directly state the reason that Mrs. Purkapile had for staying married.
Is the essay in a specific format or something? Any specific requirements?
Borges's story The Garden of Forking Paths can be considered to be a three dimensional chess game for a variety of reasons. First, like a game of chess, a nearly infinite number of possible outcomes are proposed through the story (just as how a chess game can allow for a variety of different outcomes). Also, chess is a game of choice, just as the Garden of Forking Paths - both the story itself and the novel of the same titles mentioned in the story - allows for the reader to, in essence, choose their own design and strategy. Furthermore, the lead character\protagonist in the story is manipulating events throughout the story to, in essence, score a "checkmate."
Proper noun sounds the best for me
