I definitely recommend you to choose the last topic D.) the use of figurative language in The Death of Ivan Ilych, because this is quite large and embraces all the points above so that you can express your thoughts in reasonable and expanded way. Also, using theme from this topic it will be easier for you to find necessary information by searching for analysis in order to properly share your opinion and impressions in the last paragraph of your essay.

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.
