1. Which area in the United States has the highest average number of thunderstorms per year?
To answer this question, we need to analyze the story "A White Heron" by Sarah Orne Jewett. In the story, the main character, Sylvia, is faced with a conflict between her love for nature and an attraction she feels towards a hunter who visits her rural home.
Throughout the story, Sylvia demonstrates a strong bond with nature. She spends her days exploring the woods, climbing trees, and caring for various animal friends. Her connection with the natural world is portrayed as something beautiful and essential to her identity.
As Sylvia interacts with the hunter, she finds herself drawn to him and develops a fondness for his friendly personality. However, as the story progresses, Sylvia becomes increasingly conflicted about the hunter's intentions. She realizes that the reason he visits her rural area is to hunt birds, specifically the white heron, which is a rare and prized bird. This revelation creates a tension within Sylvia as she must choose between her love for the hunter and her loyalty to nature.
In the end, Sylvia makes a clear choice. The story implies that she retains her loyalty to nature and becomes more suspicious of human nature. She ultimately decides not to reveal the whereabouts of the white heron to the hunter, despite her growing affection for him. This choice symbolizes Sylvia's prioritization of nature and her rejection of potentially harmful human actions.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is A. Sylvia retains her loyalty to nature and becomes more suspicious of human nature.
