Which excerpt from the awakening best illustrates the idea that edna is losing control of her life? all these letters were pleasing to her. she answered the children in a cheerful frame of mind, promising them bonbons, and congratulating them upon their happy find of the little pigs. she answered her husband with friendly evasiveness,—not with any fixed design to mislead him, only because all sense of reality had gone out of her life; she had abandoned herself to fate, and awaited the consequences with indifference. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. she was tempted to seek him out. but far from yielding to the impulse, she avoided any occasion which might throw her in his way. he had detected the latent sensuality, which unfolded under his delicate sense of her nature's requirements like a torpid, torrid, sensitive blossom.

I believe that the excerpt from The Awakening which best represents the idea that Edna is losing control of her life among the choices is this one:

"She answered her husband with friendly evasiveness,—not with any fixed design to mislead him, only because all sense of reality had gone out of her life; she had abandoned herself to Fate, and awaited the consequences with indifference."

We can see that the excerpt states that Edna was abandoning herself to Fate. This further means that she has surrendered her own life to Fate already. She does not control anything that happens to her anymore.

It forces readers to “grapple” with their own mortality.

either online or traditional classroom can work for students. which is better will depend on students and teacher. students may have trouble following a lesson in classroom while they can study at their own pace online. other students may have trouble staying focus on their own in online classes. teachers are more used to classroom teaching but they may also be more worry about their jobs teaching online classes and work harder.

the switch in narration increases the proximity of the narrator to the main character and the reader can perceive information only through the filter of a single character.
