Question

1. how does the resolution contribute to the storys overall meaning?

○ a. it reveals that living a good life will always work out well.
○ b. it demonstrates how living an evil life will come back to haunt a person.
○ c. it shows that not helping someone in need will bring bad luck to a person.
○ d. it reminds readers that what goes on between a husband and wife is their business.

Explanation:

In literature, the resolution often conveys a moral or message. Option B is a common theme where actions have consequences, especially for negative behavior. Options A is too simplistic as life doesn't always work out well for good - doers. Option C about bad - luck for not helping is not as universal as the idea of evil deeds coming back to haunt. Option D is too narrow and not a typical over - arching message in a story's resolution.

Answer:

B. It demonstrates how living an evil life will come back to haunt a person.
