After reading the passage from "The Awakening," by Kate Chopin, we can say that it best shows the following conflict and theme:

A. Traditional relationships can stifle individual freedom.

What happens in the passage?The main character, Edna Pontellier, is having dinner with her husband. She has recently started to awaken to her own desires, and for that reason her behavior has changed.Mr. Pontellier is mad at her when he finds out that she has not stayed home throughout the day - Tuesdays ate Edna's day to have guests at home. He thinks that such an action may harm their relationship with other families, and demands that she visits the people who have come to see her.This passage shows the misogynistic expectations of society and how they stifle individual freedom. Edna, as a woman, is not allowed to do as she pleases. She must comply with her husband's and society's wishes.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option when it comes to the passage's conflict and theme.

Traditional relationships can stifle individual freedom.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from The Awakening, it can be inferred that the conflict shown is that traditional relationships can stifle individual freedom.

A traditional relationship is one that normally consists of a male and a female with the male being more dominant than the female and this is the relationship type seen in this book between Mr. and Mrs. Pontellier.

From the text it is seen that the man was genuinely taken aback by the fact that his wife, Mrs. Pontellier went out and so enquires as to her reasons for doing so in a rather demanding voice.

This implies that she cannot leave at will without a good reason thereby supporting to the notion that traditional relationships can stifle individual freedom.
