Question

2. Mrs. Pontellier’s feelings are communicated primarily through which technique of third-person narration?

A: Explicit statement of the emotions that she experiences

B: Observations made by Mr. Pontellier about her distress

C: Speculation by the narrator about her reactions

D: Comments by Mrs. Pontellier explaining her discontent

E: Descriptions of Mrs. Pontellier’s actions that signal her state of mind

Answer 1

Mrs. Pontellier's feelings are communicated through her actions which help in signaling the state of her mind.

The third-person narration occurs when the person telling the story is not part of the story. In the passage, when Mr. Pontellier got home from the hotel and told his wife to check the kids, his wife was angry because she was already asleep.

Rather than checking the kids, she went to another room and didn't answer her husband.

In conclusion, the correct option is E.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Answer is E, descriptions of Mrs. Pontellier's actions that signal her state of mind

Explanation:

we understand her feelings through her actions, for example “[she] answered him with little half utterances,” and “said nothing, and refused to answer her husband when he questioned her,” and “began to cry a little” all of which give us an insight into her mental state.
