Answer 1

Remember that aesthetic is refered, in simple words, as the theory of beauty. It is used a lot in art, in this case literature. To fulfil it's purpose some questions are asked. For example: What makes things beautiful? or Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how?

As you can see, this a very complex concept, philosophers, artists, and intelectuals continue debating on it's elements and characteristics. In this case we are talking about an aesthetic impact, that means a feeling that is inspired by the beauty of a story.

My answer would be: B. A woman who grew up poor strikes it rich with an innovation that helps others.

I chose this option because of the previous story that can be infered. We can infer she had a difficult time growing up, fighting against a lot of obstacles. Knowing that in the end she was able to overcome all that with the characteristic that she did it in a way she is helping others, makes the reader feel satisfied as he had joined her in her experiences through the story.
