Explanation:

In the short story "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, we find Mrs. Mallard receiving the news about her husband's death. But contrary to normal expectations, she felt a sense of relief rather than a desperate mournful sensation. For her, it was like a release from some kind of invisible bondage that she had been under her husband.  

The above provided passage shows rather a mood of relief from the death of Mr. Mallard. Mrs. Mallard is suddenly hit by the realization of her freedom and she utters the words "free, free, free". Even the use of the words "coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her" shows a feeling of calm and relief, rather than the expected mourning. So, the answer to the question of which words that establish a mood of relief will be-  

d. “escaped,” “free,” “warmed,” and “relaxed”.

the primary theme of ha jin's “a decade” would be the need to revisit one's past to determine a path for the future. “a decade” is one of the twelve brief stories of ha jin's under the red flag, which takes place during the cultural revolution of china.

no it is not a sin or wrong to be gay. you can be whoever you want just dont hurt anybody or kill anybody. god gave us freewill so we could do whatever we want and be whoever they want to be. all those other people who think gay is bad they are wrong, they can love whoever they want longs they don't hurt or kill each other.

being gay is not a sin or wrong. if you are gay then you have our support and love. cause lets face it, love is love and no bully will ever stop us from being who we are. we are human and we can be different. being different is what makes us humans.

its okay to be gay everyone.

hope this : )

have a great day
