This text is from "The Story of an Hour"> “She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain
strength.” What is the “repression” that Chopin is referring to that requires Mrs. Mallard’s “certain
strength” to overcome? (RL.9-10.4)
a. Her marriage
b. Her abusive husband
c. The shock of her husband’s death
d. Her imprisonment in her room

C. The shock of her husbands death.

Explanation: It cant be A because the text explains she was somewhat happy. It cant be B because it never explainsed that he was abusive, if he was she wouldnt  be overjoyed he has returned. Last but not least it cant be D because the text never says she was imprisioned.

i think its,

b) the narrator's mental state is anguished.

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
