Read the excerpt from the yellow wallpaper. What does the narrator's description reveal about the social context of the story??

B. Doctors were believed to be unquestionably all-knowing.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gillman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" revolves around the life of a woman 'diagnosed' with mental illness and the 'treatment' around that sickness. The story delves into the theme of mental illness and how it is perceived by the people, especially in a patriarchal society like the one the narrator is in.

In the given excerpt, the woman, diagnosed with mental illness, states how she was 'treated' for the "temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency". The physicians, including her own brother, all decide what is the best for her condition, instead of asking her opinion. This shows the lack of women's participation, let alone acceptance of women, in society including the domestic sphere.

Lastly, her revelation shows how doctors or anyone of high standing, were perceived and believed to be unquestionably all-knowing and correct.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
