Answer 1

Answer: C. Governail would visit the plantation and Mrs. Baroda would make a move on him.

Explanation:

This is based on the short story,  ''A Respectable Woman'' by Kate Chopin.

Mrs. Baroda in this story, develops strange feelings for her husband's friend and guest, Governail, who is a journalist. She does not act on them for she perceives herself a respectable woman and flees to the city to visit her aunt.

After Governail leaves and she comes back, her husband tells her that he would like Governail to visit again to which she refuses at first but then accepts after some months.

She says that she has overcome her feelings and would be nice to him the next time leaving the reader to infer that she will make a move on him the next time with the feelings she has overcome being her perception of the way a respectable woman ought to act.
