Final answer:
Langston Hughes's 'Salvation' suggests that regret can occur after making decisions under pressure, with the young protagonist feeling guilt for falsely proclaiming his salvation due to community and family expectations. Th correct option is A. It can occur after making decisions under pressure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Langston Hughes's 'Salvation' makes statements about regret that emphasize how it can surface after making decisions under various pressures. The story illustrates the inner turmoil experienced by a young Langston Hughes during a religious revival where he faces the expectation to be 'saved' but feels nothing, ultimately leading him to falsely proclaim his salvation.
This leads to feelings of guilt and regret, revealing that regret can indeed occur after making decisions under pressure (A), both immediately and as one reflects on their actions over time. While pressures may sometimes arise from one's relationship with family (B), as seen in Hughes's experience where family and community expectations influenced his actions, this particular narrative does not directly address how regret affects relationships with family.
