She was not going through any acute mental process or reasoning with herself, nor was she striving to explain to her satisfaction the motive of her action. she was not thinking at all. she seemed for the time to be taking a rest from that laborious and fatiguing function and to have abandoned herself to some mechanical impulse that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. which topic is represented in the excerpt?

the brief rejection of an obligatory role

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the above question shows a girl who is exhausted from everything (and everyone, apparently). This girl has no mood or disposition to do anything, and it is probably the result of some sad situation or stress that has left the girl in this weariness of life. The topic represented in the text is "the brief rejection of an obligatory role" because the girl cannot find the strength to meet her commitments and obligations.

my guy how are we supposed to know

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
