Question

This passage appears later in the story. What does it reveal about the narrator? (1 point) that she is adapting to motherhood well. that her mental state is slowly deteriorating. that she is being well cared for by her husband. O that she is gradually settling into the room.

Answer 1

that her mental state is slowly deteriorating.

The later passages show increasing obsession and delusion (fixation on the wallpaper, seeing a trapped woman, creeping behavior), indicating a decline in her mental health rather than calm adaptation, good care, or simple settling in.
