Simple question here, but what does "drive action" mean? The question I'm looking at is "From the story, how does fear drive action?" I like totally forgot, I kind of know what it means but I want to know what exactly the question meant.

a. is the correct answer

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !

i would have to say "a" or "d".

could you provide an image?
