Which of these passages from "The Cactus" conveys an image of heroic admiration? A. Without protest, he allowed her to twine about his brow this spurious bay of Spanish scholarship. B. Trysdale's friend, the brother of the bride, stood at a sideboard complaining. C. On the table stood a singular-looking green plant in a red earthen jar.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.

do you have any possible answers?
