Hey there, I would be happy to help but first I need more detail.
Answer: C. <u><em>An engineer create an artificial intelligence that then tries to take over the world</em></u>
Explanation: The stories, 'the myth of Prometheus and Pandora' and the 'Frankenstein', emphasizes the same theme on the creation of something which might turn beneficial or detrimental.
Prometheus is the creator of mankind in the story, and he was punished for loving his creation too much. On the other side, Victor in Frankenstein creates a monster which eventually becomes detrimental to him.
Similarly, from the above example, the theme shared by these stories with it is: An engineer is creating artificial intelligence and with that he tries to rule the world.
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.
I'd choose dark, inaccessible, and comfortless. The other words don't really pin down the tone ("draperies"? "General"?).
