Read the excerpt from "Violets." "Wife, did you ever send me these?"
She raised her great, black eyes to his with a gesture of ineffable disdain, and replied languidly:
"You know very well I can't bear flowers. How could I ever send such sentimental trash to any one? Throw
them in the fire."
And the Easter bells chimed a solemn requiem as the flames slowly licked up the faded violets. Was it
merely fancy on the wife's part, or did the husband really sigh,-a long, quivering breath of remembrance?
Which of the following predictions is most likely based on the theme of lost love in the story?
The husband will realize his unhappiness and begin to live a more honest life.
O The husband will continue to live a dishonest life for the sake of appearances.
O The wife will ask her husband to tell her about the violets and their meaning.
The wife will let go of her anger and profess her enduring love to her husband.
