Question

question 5 of 10 which aesthetic impact is the ending of gravity most plausibly meant to have on the reader?
a. shock that the new year’s celebration is called off at the last minute
b. confusion about the unresolved emotions that elenita shows
c. satisfaction that elenita finally realizes how much she loves her parents
d. anger that elenita never gets a chance to defy her parents

Explanation:

In the story "Gravity", the ending focuses on Elenita's emotional realization about her love for her parents. Option A is incorrect as the New Year's celebration being called off isn't the main aesthetic impact. Option B is wrong because Elenita's emotions become resolved (she realizes her love for parents), not unresolved. Option D is incorrect as Elenita does have moments of defying her parents, and the ending isn't about anger over not defying them. Option C fits as the ending gives the reader a sense of satisfaction from Elenita's realization of her love for her parents.

Answer:

C. Satisfaction that Elenita finally realizes how much she loves her parents
