Based on the context of the excerpt from Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” which definition most clearly defines the word imploring? Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhold, imploring for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."
