Answer 2

Answer:

In the "Hills Like White Elephants", the white elephants symbolize  C- troublesome possessions.

Explanation:

Ernest Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" is a short story about an American man and his girlfriend, identified only as "the girl" waiting for the train at the station having drinks. There is no specific identification other than that. And the 'white elephant' that was mentioned in the conversation acts as a hidden code for the baby that she was carrying. It acts as a troublesome possession that none of them seems to want to carry the burden of, but which, on further reading of the story, the girl seems to want to keep.
