Read the passage from "Arachne and Athena" Part 2 What is getting in Arachne's way in the passage?

A great howl filled the house. "How dare you?" Athena screamed as she grabbed Arachne's cloth and ripped it to shreds. "You wicked, wicked human!" she shouted as she smashed Arachne's loom into tiny pieces. Then she took her spear and pointed it at the girl.

Arachne was no longer full of pride. She was full of fright. She stood shaking in her shoes as she begged Athena to spare her life.

A. Athena's powers as a goddess
B. Athena's reaction to Arachne's weaving
C. Arachne's pride in her weaving
D. Arachne's fear of her mother

I'd say its her pride because that is essentially what the purpose of this story is. The purpose of the story is to showcase how Arachne's pride eventually led to her downfall. Therefore, it is her pride that got in the way, as it is the trait that caused Athena to have this reaction in the first place.
