The secretive, fragmented journal entries used to allow the narrator to tell her story could symbolize select one: a. the sister-in-law’s meddling behavior with regard to the narrator’s illness. b. the husband’s oppressive behavior toward the narrator. c. the way the narrator “creeps” around at the end of the story. d. the increasing fragmentation of the narrator’s sense of self.

d. the increasing fragmentation of the narrator’s sense of self.

The fragmented journal entries most likely symbolize the increasing fragmentation of the narrator's sense of self. As the narrator has been locked for so long, with no other way to stimulate her mind than that of her journal, this is likely to be the best account of how the narrator feels about her situation and about herself. As the journal becomes more fragmented, we can assume that the author is increasingly struggling to understand her own mind.

explanation:

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
