Ethan Frome

Edith Wharton is the author of the story.

Zeena leaves the house to see the doctor. This is indicated by the fact that going to the doctor is a common reason for someone to leave their house. Additionally, the other options (hitting up Mr. Hale, buying a gun, and gambling) do not seem to be logical or relevant reasons for Zeena to leave the house. Therefore, the most plausible explanation is that Zeena leaves the house to see the doctor.

The correct answer suggests that the pickle dish symbolizes Ethan and Zeena's marriage. This implies that the pickle dish represents their relationship, possibly indicating that their marriage is dull or unappetizing, similar to a pickle. The use of the sad face emoticon further emphasizes the negative connotation of their marriage.

The question asks who broke the pickle dish, and the correct answer is "The Cat." This suggests that the cat was responsible for breaking the dish, possibly by knocking it off a table or shelf.

The narrator stays in Ethan's home because it is winter and there is a storm. This suggests that the narrator seeks shelter and a place to stay during the harsh weather conditions.

Ethan marries Zeena because he is feeling lonely after the death of his mother. This suggests that he may be seeking companionship and emotional support during a difficult time in his life. The other options provided, such as Zeena being pregnant or Zeena's mother dying, do not provide a clear reason for Ethan's decision to marry Zeena.

The story is set in Starkfield, MA.

The statement "Ethan sells bricks to Mr. Hale" is false. This means that Ethan does not sell bricks to Mr. Hale.

The word "broke" suggests that something shattered or was damaged. The only option given, "Pickle Dish," is a fragile item that could easily break if mishandled. Therefore, it can be inferred that the correct answer is "Pickle Dish" because it is the most logical choice for an item that could break during dinner.

The statement implies that Zeena did not fail to leave the money under the door. In other words, Zeena successfully left the money under the door. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The given statement states that Ethan's assistant is Jotham Powell. Since the statement does not provide any contradictory information, we can assume that the statement is true and accept it as a fact.
