C

is that right?

I agree with all of your answers.

A - yes

To find the answers to your questions, you can use several steps.

1. Go to your preferred search engine (in this case, Google) and enter the book's name, "The Other Wife, by Colette," into the search bar.

2. Look for reliable sources, such as book reviews, summaries, or analysis articles, that discuss the relationship between Marc and Alice in "The Other Wife."

3. Read through the information provided by the sources to gain a better understanding of Marc and Alice's relationship dynamics.

For the first question, you can use the information you have observed from the story. If Marc is the one making all the decisions, such as choosing the table they sit on and ordering the food, and Alice simply agrees with him, then option A, "she lets him make all the decisions," seems plausible.

For the second question, again, look for information in the sources you found during your search. If there are paragraphs or passages in the story that suggest Alice wonders if there is something lacking in Marc, then option D, "she wonders if there is something lacking in Marc," could be the best answer.

However, it is always recommended to have a thorough understanding of the story by reading it or consulting additional reliable sources to have a complete viewpoint.
