I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you. 1. cogitating = contemplatingTo cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.
2. cudgeling = beatingA cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.
3. regaled = rewardedThe verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work
Answer: The theme of Fate and free will
Explanation: In the story, Mrs. Mallard's sister is afraid to tell her the news that she is now a widow, she is afraid that she might suffer a heart attack. Nevertheless, when Mrs. Mallard isolates herself in her room, she starts feeling a sensation of freeness. She realizes that she will finally be liberated from her oppressing marriage. This reaction is ironic since the reader is expecting her to be devastated. The theme of fate and free will is suggested because regardless of how liberated she starts to feel, she is destined to perish from joy at the end of the story.
She's surely understood and exceptionally powerful and I believe she's endeavored to be the place she is presently. Having that experience, she sees how to influence individuals to "take the way towards significance". I additionally believe it's her appeal and capacity to talk well that makes individuals need to hear her out.
