Which excerpt from the awakening best illustrates the idea that edna is losing control of her life?

a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) he had detected the latent sensuality, which unfolded under his delicate sense of her nature's requirements like a torpid, torrid, sensitive blossom.
