Answer 1

A. Janie becomes more miserable.

C. The conflict between them intensifies.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a novel written by Zora Neale Hurston. The novel is about Janie Crawford's journey from a shy and quiet teenage girl to a young woman, who learns to take control of her life.

Jody, Janie's second husband is possessive and a jealous person. He dictates Janie of how her conduct should be with others, the way she should dress, and in his insecurity that Janie's beautiful and long hair might grab attention of men asks her to keep her hair tied in a bun.

This insistence of Jody upon Janie effects her robustly. With this instance, she becomes more miserable, adding to her miseries of her previous marriage. This also creates a conflict between them.

Therefore, option A and C are correct.
