To determine which quotation best supports your answer to Part A, we first need to identify what Part A's answer is, as it likely reflects a key theme or character motivation in the story.
-
If Part A discusses themes of revenge and its consequences, then D ("I have my vengeance, but it is like Dead Sea fruit, all bitter ashes to the taste. I am a miserable, heart-weary wreck") would be the best choice. This quotation illustrates the emptiness and disappointment that can accompany revenge.
-
If Part A focuses on motivations for revenge or the character's emotional state, then both A ("I grew cold and proud, and with an iron will crushed and stamped all love for him out of my tortured heart and cried for vengeance") and C ("I laughed at him and sneered at his misery, and I told him what he had done to my happiness, and what I, in turn, had done to his") might be relevant.
-
If Part A discusses success in social or literary realms following vengeance, then B ("Success followed success, triumph succeeded triumph. I was lionized, honored, exalted by the social and literary world") would be appropriate.
Given these interpretations, if the answer to Part A pertains to the consequences and emotional fallout of revenge, D would be the most supportive quotation. Otherwise, please clarify the theme or point made in Part A for a more precise recommendation.
