This question is about the short story "The Wife's Story", by Ursula K. le Guin.

What causes the wife to question her husband is:

C The youngest child rejects her father. ( Paragraph 6)

Explanation:

The narrator in "The Wife's Story" is a female werewolf. However, that is only revealed at the end of the story. The author deceives readers, giving hints all along but still making it seem that the narrator is human.

The narrator's husband begins to go out to hunt in broad daylight. At first, that did not bother her. She only begins to be a little annoyed by it because of the way he smells when he comes back home. Suspicion takes a while to come to her mind. It is when his behavior and something in his eyes change, when their little child rejects her father, screaming in fear of him, that the narrator finally questions the whole situation.

Upon waking up one day and realizing he is missing, she goes outside and sees him transforming into a human. She and other werewolves end up killing him.

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.
