Explanation:

Question 10

This question is about a story (likely "Hills Like White Elephants" by Hemingway). In the story, the man repeatedly tells Jig that the operation (abortion) is her decision, trying to make her feel it's her choice while pressuring her. Option A is incorrect as he isn't leaving her. Option C's "loves her more than anything" isn't the repeated message. Option D about missing the train isn't what he repeats.

In the couple's conversation (from "Hills Like White Elephants"), their tone is detached (surface - level talk) but tense (underlying conflict about the operation). Option A is wrong as it's not playful/humorous. Option C's passionate/affectionate doesn't fit the strained dynamic. Option D's optimistic/future - focused is incorrect as the conversation is about a tense present decision.

Hemingway's style of using much dialogue and little narration is the Iceberg Theory (showing only part, leaving much implied). Surrealism (A) focuses on the unconscious, magical realism (B) blends magic and reality, and expressionism (D) emphasizes emotion over reality, none match.

Answer:

B. That the operation is her decision
