In 'The Birthmark, Hawthorne develops the theme that the quest for perfection is destined to fail.

The details from the story that contribute to the development of this theme are:

  • <u>A. "Do not repent that with so high and pure a feeling, you have rejected the best the earth could offer. Aylmer, dearest Aylmer, I am dying!" </u>
  • <u>B. "Perhaps its removal may cause cureless deformity, or it may be the stain goes as deep as life itself.''</u>

According to the complete question, we can see that there is a quest for perfection by some characters in the book who want to be the best and not to make mistakes or wrong decisions.

As a result of this, Hawthorne shows that people like this are always destined to fail because there are no perfect people. This is evident as the speaker says that she rejected the best the world has to offer and it has caused a "cureless deformity".

Therefore,the correct answers are options A and B

What is the error? THERE'S NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!
Arte-miy333 [17]
The error is in italics and bolded for you:
<em>THERE'S</em> NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!

The correct way to write the sentence should be like this:
<em>THERE ARE</em> NOW SEVEN NEW FLAVORS!


The reason it is <em>There are </em>and not <em>there's(there is)</em>, is because you are talking about the new flavors being in the present tense form. Like... it's hard to explain, I guess...


Hope this helps!!!!
