Which comparison between events in the passage would best support a claim that a significant theme of the passage is fulfillment? Theodora’s completion of her manuscript and the postman’s delay in bringing a response from the publisher A Theodora’s waiting for the publisher’s response and her time in the woods after her manuscript has been accepted B Theodora’s isolation from her family and her reading of the publisher’s response regarding her manuscript C Theodora’s plans for caring for her family and the family’s feelings about her failure to follow through with those plans D Theodora’s thoughts about her family’s situation and her dreams about her own future after her manuscript has been published

B

Theodora´s waiting for the publisher´s response and her time in the woods after her manuscript has been accepted.

Explanation:

I know from personal experience that the feelings that come along when a manuscript is finished and accepted, can rightly be described as pure fulfillment. In A the manuscript is finished but she cannot feel really fulfilled because the response of the publisher is needed to do so.

Family problems  (C & D) can´t be seen in the light of fullfillment.

answer: the correct answer is that he still ridicules people that look different.

explanation: in "the nose"   by nikolai gogol, the author sets up a satirical view of russian society. the book is divided into three parts and tells the story of collegiate assessor ('major') kovalyov, who gets up one morning without his nose. he later finds out that his nose has developed a life by itself, and has apparently surpassed him by attaining the rank of state councillor. the short story showcases the obsession with social rank that plagued russia after peter the great introduced the table of ranks. by allowing commoners to attain hereditary nobility through service to the state, a large population was given the chance to move up in social status. this opportunity, however, also gave way to large bureaucracies, in which many of gogol's characters worked.
