Final answer:
The best supporting quote from paragraph 22 for the theme of personal liberation is C, which vividly describes the protagonist's intense joy at her newfound freedom.
Step-by-step explanation:
The excerpt provided from paragraph 22 best corresponds to quote C “his whole frame kindled with the joy of recovered life” to support the answer to Part A. This quote captures the theme of intense personal emancipation which is prevalent throughout the story. The protagonist experiences an overwhelming sense of freedom and relief at the news of her husband's death, which is later countered by the shocking twist when he returns, seemingly from the dead, leading to her own demise.
Quote A “she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair” suggests extreme despair or anger, not the joyful exhilaration the question is aiming for. Quote B could be misconstrued as joyful, but it is directed towards another character, not the protagonist's joy of freedom. Quote D “when she had seen the priest, with his joyous followers” also does not directly relate to the protagonist's personal elation.
