Read the following excerpt from katherine anne porter's "the jilting of granny weatherall":

i want you to pick all the fruit this year and see nothing is wasted. there's always someone who can use it. don't let good things rot for want of using. you waste life when you waste good food. don't let things get lost. it's bitter to lose things. now, don't let me get to thinking, not when i'm tired and taking a little nap before supper. . what is one purpose of the symbolism used in this passage?

a. to show that granny has moved on with life after being jilted
b. to make a piece of fruit seem like a peer to granny
c. to link two unlike concepts: supper and marriage
d. to compare granny to something that has been lost
