Read the excerpt from "Violets" by Alice Dunbar-Nelson.

o The author intends for the reader to develop sympathy for the character of the wife.


The author intends for the reader to develop a dislike of the girl who sent the violets.


O The author intends for the reader to reflect further upon the husband's inner life and emotions.


The author intends for the reader to reflect further on the funeral of the young girl.

Answer:

The author intends for the reader to reflect further upon the husband's inner life and emotions.

Explanation:

The text presents a man who receives a romantic and very sentimental letter from a young woman who loved him. This young woman died and this man was married to another woman, who does not seem to have the same emotion towards him. The last paragraph reveals that the man is sorry for not having had a romance with the author of the letter who seemed to truly love him. For this reason, he lets out sighs of memories, making the reader reflect on his previous life and the emotions he had.

Answer:

The author intends for the reader to reflect further upon the husband's inner life and emotions.
