In which excerpt does the author include a flashback to arouse a feeling of nostalgia, or fond memory, in
Fionnuala?
OA. "It had arrived one bracing November night, the moment Fionnuala had yearned for, yet postponed
repeatedly until there were no more chances to forestall her decision."
OB. "Sure, Finnie, they're promising us it'll all be over by Christmas, Eamon had said cheerily the
B
morning of his departure. All those years ago Fionnuala had believed him, as if it was all a grand 市
tour of Europe....
OC. "For years, Fionnuala waited for word, for the sound of Eamon's boots on the footpath. Every knock
at the door was a hope raised and dashed, another day that she both missed and resented him."
OD. "Mam rooted deep into her handbag....How moving it was to see Eamon's sprawling penmanship,
reminiscent of his loping gait."
