Explanation:

To determine how Reverend Hooper’s popularity grew, we analyze the options based on the context (likely from "The Minister's Black Veil"). The first option states people on their deathbeds confided in him and sought pardon for their sins. In the story, the black veil creates a sense of mystery and religious gravity, making him a figure people turn to for spiritual absolution at the end of life. The other options (fighting for equality, building a school, helping widows) do not align with the story’s focus on his religious role and the veil’s impact on his spiritual authority.

Answer:

A. People on their deathbeds confided in him and sought pardon for their sins.
