A. requirement

Explanation:

Apart from its meaning of a grammatical mood which expresses an order, the word 'imperative' also has the following meaning - an essential action, a requirement. We often use this word to refer to something that must be done and should not be avoided. For instance - "Visiting the Niagara Falls is an imperative!" or "It is an imperative that I speak to him right now."

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
