The Fault in our Stars: On her way to Augustus’s house, she reminisces about the White River with her dad. How does this reflect one of the most reoccurring symbols in the book- water?

Yes,Water

Explanation: Water in The Fault in Our Stars mostly directly represents suffering in both its negative and positive varieties. Water, for instance, symbolizes the fluid that collects in Hazel’s lungs as a result of her cancer. This liquid causes Hazel a huge amount of suffering in the novel. It forces her to use an oxygen tank, limits her ability to do any real strenuous activity, and it nearly kills her at one point. She likens the suffering she feels in that instance to being smashed by waves but unable to drown. (It’s no coincidence that drowning is one of the novel's major motifs, since water is, of course, at its center.) This type of suffering is obviously negative. At the same time, it's significant that Augustus's last name is Waters. He is Hazel's great love in the novel, and his physical deterioration and eventual death cause Hazel an intense amount of pain. Hazel, however, wouldn’t trade that pain for anything. It’s a mark of the love she feels for Augustus, which makes it a kind of positive pain. Hazel even uses the analogy of being smashed by waves but unable to drown again to describe the way she feels after Augustus dies. In doing so she creates a metaphor with two parallel sides: one where drowning in water represents the negative suffering of her cancer, and the other where drowning in water represents the positive suffering of her losing Augustus. Augustus sums up this dual nature of suffering, and water, in the final letter he writes to Van Houten. When he found out Hazel was hospitalized, he snuck into her room in the ICU and found her there unconscious. A nurse told him Hazel was “still taking on water.” Augustus describes this abundance of water to Van Houten as “A desert blessing, an ocean curse.”

to and without are prepositions, so a, b, and d are prepositional phrases. the adverb phrase is c, about the surprise.
