Which sentence in this excerpt from “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman suggests that, despite her growing insani

ty, the narrator still retains some awareness of what society expects of her? I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner—but it hurt my teeth. Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it! All those strangled heads and bulbous eyes and waddling fungus growths just shriek with derision! I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try. Besides I wouldn't do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued. I don't like to look out of the windows even—there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast.

The sentence would be "I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued".

Look at the word choice in the sentence: "improper" and "misconstrued."

Misconstrued means to interpret someone's actions or words in a way that was not the original meaning.

The narrator knows that society will look at her as odd if she jumps out the window, so she doesn't.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option D.

They argue that extremely difficult conditions inspired enslaved young men to invent new forms of music.

Explanation:The passage is from the book "Sugar Changed the World" by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. This couple were inspired to write about the bitter lives laid in the sweetness of sugar. In the given passage there is a description of the enslaved workers of Louisiana where they were employed in the sugar plants.

They were forced to work in the hard condition of the sugar plants and most of the workers were late teenagers to thirty years old. They were selected as they were strong for work. The female were only give birth of enslaved child so the labor force can be produced.

This critical condition of the young enslaved workers inspired them to form a new kind of music to express their feeling which was Jazz music.This music gave them the ability to think more than their struggling life of slavery.

Same as the music Bomba from Puerto Rico, Maculele from Brazil were the invention of the people from difficult and harder situation. They found these musics as their way to express feeling.
