I think it is c. I remember Reading this story last year in my freshman English class
B. Compound predicate nominative, A. Simple subject, D. gerund phrase
Explanation:
"The Story of an Hour" was written by the famous author, Kate Chopin. Kate Chopin was a famous American author. She wrote many short stories and novels.
In her short story, 'The Story of an Hour', she narrates the feelings and the emotion of a wife when she heard the news of her husband's death in an accident.
The word 'absolutely' is used as procession or moving forward. When Louise Mallard heard of her husband, Brently's death she was shaken and was in grief. The thoughts of the passing life and moving on was haunting to her. She knew that after her husband's death the sorrow and loneliness she will get only belongs to her completely. This is the bitter truth.
Thus this is the meaning of the word 'absolutely' in the story is.
Absolutely means completely or totally or with certain.
These are the correct options, in my opinion. A. <span>The ending is inspiring in contrast to the beginning. The beginning is calm and toned down. The speaker is sorry to hear the young Negro underrate his own racial identity, but there is no solution yet. On the other hand, the conclusion is exulted, lively, and defiant. It offers an inspiring solution, calling upon Negro artists to finally climb that mountain and get free of their inherent prejudices about themselves. D. </span><span>The ending revisits a quote that was used in the beginning. This quote is from the young Negro poet: </span><span>"I want to be a poet--not a Negro poet," and it represents the wish of the middle-class Negroes to blend into American standardized society, denying their own identity.</span>
