How did wilkins adapt “the revolt of ‘mother’” to reflect the work accepted by “genteel” women of the period? a-she made the main female character quiet and refined. b-she had the main female character defend the main male character. c-she made the main female character a devoted mother to her children. d-she had the main male and female characters come to a peaceable resolution.

The Revolt of Mother by Mary Wilkins is an American short story. It was published back in 1890. This story represents strong themes such as rebellion, cultural culmination, self-importance and the squashing of women in a society dominated by men.

Moreover, "genteel" means filled with utter politeness, and to adapt the same in Sarah (mother) Wilkins made the character of the lady quiet and refined. Therefore, I would suggest you to choose option-a.
