a novel tells the story of a young lady whose parents do not want her to marry a certain man. after a case of mistaken identity and an out - of - control rumor, it appears that they have removed him from her life forever. in the end, the young lady sadly boards a train, only to find that he is sitting beside her.
which aesthetic impact does the author most likely intend to have on the reader?
a. excited anticipation of a long - awaited wedding
b. sorrowful cynicism that the couple had to endure such trials
c. a sense of satisfaction that love conquers all
d. frustration that it took so long for the couple to get together

Explanation:

The narrative follows the couple facing barriers (parental opposition, mistaken identity, rumors) that seem to separate them permanently, only for them to reunite unexpectedly. This resolution frames their love as overcoming all obstacles, which typically leaves readers with a fulfilling, positive feeling about their reunion. Option A is incorrect because the scene ends with their meeting, not a wedding setup. Option B is wrong as the ending is hopeful, not cynical. Option D is not the primary intent; the focus is on the joyful reunion rather than frustration over the wait.

Answer:

C. A sense of satisfaction that love conquers all
