Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine the sentence illustrating the consequences of Victor’s unchecked ambition, we analyze each option:
- Option a describes a peaceful natural scene, not related to ambition's consequences.
- Option b uses imagery to show the creature’s isolation, not direct consequences of Victor’s ambition.
- Option c shows the creature’s violent and harmful impulses, which stem from Victor’s creation (a result of his unchecked ambition to create life).
- Option d is the creature questioning its existence, not showing the consequences of Victor’s ambition.

So, option c best illustrates the negative outcomes of Victor’s unrestrained ambition.
# Answer:
c. "I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants, and have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery."
