You are correct. By choosing to devote herself to her art, Mademoiselle Reisz has gone against the expectations of Creole society for women, making herself an outcast of sorts. Therefore, the correct answer is "both the first and second choices above."
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the information provided in the question.
In the story "The Awakening," Mademoiselle Reisz is a character known for her dedication to her art. She is depicted as an independent and non-conformist woman.
Option 1 states that Mademoiselle Reisz has gone against the expectations of Creole society for women. This is supported by the fact that she chooses to focus on her art rather than conforming to societal expectations of marriage or motherhood.
Option 2 suggests that Mademoiselle Reisz has made herself an outcast of sorts. This interpretation is consistent with her portrayal in the story, as her unconventional lifestyle and independent nature set her apart from the Creole society.
Option 3 states that Mademoiselle Reisz has gained the admiration and respect of the Creole society. However, there is no evidence in the question or the story to suggest that the society admires or respects her.
Considering this information, the correct answer is "both the first and second choices above." Mademoiselle Reisz's devotion to her art goes against the expectations of Creole society for women and has made her an outcast in that society.
