Explanation:

Question 7

This question is about a literary work (likely "Hills Like White Elephants"). When Jig offers to have the operation to make the man happy, the man insists she should only do it if she wants to, not just to please him. Option A is incorrect as he doesn't call her selfish. Option C is wrong as he doesn't get angry and stop talking. Option D is incorrect as he doesn't immediately agree and celebrate.

In the context of the story, Jig's repeated "please stop talking" shows she is overwhelmed by the situation (the discussion about the operation) and emotionally exhausted. Option A is incorrect as it's not about heat. Option B is wrong as it's not about scenery. Option D is incorrect as she's not joking.

In "Hills Like White Elephants", the dry/barren and fertile sides of the station symbolize the two possible paths for the couple's future (whether to have the baby/continue the relationship or not). Option A is incorrect as it's not about wealth/poverty. Option C is wrong as it's not about Jig's personality. Option D is incorrect as it's not about Spain's politics.

Answer:

B. He insists he doesn't want her to do it unless she wants to
