Which comparison between events in the passage would best support a claim that a significant theme of the passage is fulfillment? Theodora’s completion of her manuscript and the postman’s delay in bringing a response from the publisher A Theodora’s waiting for the publisher’s response and her time in the woods after her manuscript has been accepted B Theodora’s isolation from her family and her reading of the publisher’s response regarding her manuscript C Theodora’s plans for caring for her family and the family’s feelings about her failure to follow through with those plans D Theodora’s thoughts about her family’s situation and her dreams about her own future after her manuscript has been published

B

Theodora´s waiting for the publisher´s response and her time in the woods after her manuscript has been accepted.

Explanation:

I know from personal experience that the feelings that come along when a manuscript is finished and accepted, can rightly be described as pure fulfillment. In A the manuscript is finished but she cannot feel really fulfilled because the response of the publisher is needed to do so.

Family problems  (C & D) can´t be seen in the light of fullfillment.
