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.
We can use process of elimination to work out what the best answer is to this question. To fully answer it, however, it is helpful to make sure you know who each author is and what they are famous for. Both are African American writers that wrote about race and inequality.
For choice A, while they were born in different parts of the United States, that does not mean they were born in different cultures, so this is not the best choice.
For choice B, this is very true. Hurston focused mainly on the woman's role while Baldwin focused on the man's. This is a good choice for this question.
For choice C, we would need to see a more in depth excerpt or do research to fully determine if this is the best answer, but from what I know about the authors and looking over their biographies, it's safe to say that they had very similar ideas about racism in America.
For choice D, they both explore painful topics because they are exploring what racism and inequality is in general in America. Because of this, this choice is not the best answer.
Based on our elimination, choice B is the best option here.
