Literature is read for various reasons. For example, some people read literature to understand other people better. Others read it for escapism. Entertainment is another common reason. All of these reasons depend on the author providing the reader with new information that is different to their own experiences of the world. If the author does not tell the reader more than he already knows, it is unlikely that the reader will be informed or entertained by the work.

Answer:

The French writer tells about the contradictions of this world. For example, if a person values his skills and wants to charge it properly, people usually complain and say that he overestimates himself; however, if a person gives a lower price for his services, people will have doubts in his work.

In this literary work, a person receives an inheritance from his grandson and as he is not greedy, he wants to rent a house for minimal price. He wants to win the hearts of people, but the only thing he did was to bring a bad reputation to the family. So, in this work, the contradictions of human nature can be related to everyday life.

Read this excerpt from chapter 1 of The Scarlet Letter.
Advocard [28]
I believe that it is part of the rising action that reveals criminal activity.
If it's a custom to build a cemetery and a prison immediately, it means there is a reason for that - there is a lot of crime which ends up with someone being dead. We don't see the importance of prisons only, but rather of cemeteries as  well, which is why A is incorrect; B is incorrect because Puritans weren't really that happy; D is incorrect because we don't see their work ethic here.
