Question

1. reread this excerpt from paragraph 64:

the years have taken me worlds away from that time and that place, from the dust and squalor of our lives, and from the bright thing that i destroyed in a blind, childish striking out at god knows what.

what does the excerpt reveal about lizabeths feelings toward her actions?

a. she regrets her futile actions.

b. she feels proud of her actions.

c. she is not conscious of her actions.

d. she feels no emotion regarding her actions.

Explanation:

To determine Lizabeth's feelings, analyze the excerpt: "destroyed in a blind, childish striking out" implies her actions were impulsive and unwise. The phrase "worlds away" and reflection on the past suggest she now sees her actions as futile (without purpose) and regrets them. Option B is wrong (no pride), C is wrong (she is conscious now), D is wrong (she has emotion, regret). So A matches.

Answer:

A. She regrets her futile actions.
