I believe the answer is A (fear) or if you wrote the answers in a different order A,B,C,or D but the answer will be fear because in the excerpt is says:''I was stunned'' and it also says ''<span>How could we let Father go to such a fate?''
Hoped my answer helped :)</span>
The choice of this phrase has a paradoxical meaning in a way that Bartleby refuses to do the task asked from him and the expression of this rejection. It is a refusal, but at the same time it is a polite refusal because even when his boss asks again "You will not?", he answers again with "I prefer not". The phrase emphasizes Bartleby's passive resistance. The different use of the phrase, of course could have had a different effect in the story. It might cause a different demonstration and a different ending for the story. The boss could have replied differently because the refusal would be not polite then. However, the choice is intentional because of the development of the story. Therefore, it is suitable in its own way.
Answer:
present-tense narration
Explanation:
In present-tense narration, there is a sense of urgency used because it is used to tell a story that is happening in-the--moment thereby giving the reader a sense of immediacy.
In "Spanish Dancer" by Rainer Maria RIlke, this style of narration is employed thus:
<u>"And all at once it is completely fire.
</u>
<u>
One upward glance and she ignites her hair
</u>
<u>and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress
</u>
<u>into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace
</u>
<u>from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long
</u>
<u>naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking."</u>
