Which statement provides the line of reasoning presented in the passage?
A Women and men may share a common experience of individuality, but women are better equipped to exert control over public matters.
B Women share the same experience that men do of navigating life as individuals and therefore should be given the opportunity to develop self-reliance for their own good and the good of society.
C People do not share a common experience, so society should consider individual differences, not gender, when determining who should be allowed to live independently.
D Women should pursue the opportunity to be self-reliant with caution because while it may be good for their individual development, it will hurt society in general.

Explanation:

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
