question 1 of 10
what does elisas invitation to the stranger to enter her garden signify about her emotional state?
a. she is afraid of what he will do.
b. she has fallen in love with him.
c. she has decided to trust him.
d. she is angry with him.

Explanation:

In many literary contexts, inviting someone into a personal space like a garden often symbolizes a level of comfort and trust. Fear (A) would likely lead to keeping the stranger out. Falling in love (B) is a more intense and usually developed over time emotion, not just from an invitation. Anger (D) would also not result in an invitation. Trust (C) makes sense as an invitation implies a willingness to let the stranger into her personal, cherished space (the garden), showing a decision to trust him.

Answer:

C. She has decided to trust him.
