For an opinion to be substantiated, you need supporting evidence or a reference to validate it. Option A qualifies as it mentions a verifiable fact by suggesting that one can check with the large computer company to see its origin. More evidence would be required to substantiate the claim that small businesses are the backbone of America's strong economy. Option C lacks easily accessible factual support, while D presents a more generalized statement.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the answer might be "to remind the reader that war is inevitable."

Answer:
Madeline's dialogues with her father and Emil, a clerk at the courthouse, reveal her escalating acts of defiance.
Explanation:
In her exchanges with her father and Emil, Susan Glaspell effectively illustrates the tension between a traditional woman, who represses her beliefs and emotions destructively to uphold the status quo, and a progressive woman, who embraces her feelings without reserve, regardless of the potential consequences. Madeline reflects on her mother's self-sacrifice when she risked her life to care for Swedish children afflicted with diphtheria, expressing her unwillingness to remain at Morton College if it means betraying her mother's and grandfather's aspirations. Even though she finds herself at odds with Emil’s views, she strongly feels about maintaining her integrity.
The four terms in the passage that convey a feeling of suffocation are:
B- confinement: meaning to be restricted indoors. “...after the long day of confinement in the house...”
D- strained: exerting intense mental and physical effort. “...the children strained to get out.” Their strong effort suggests the environment inside was oppressively hot.
E- stifled: the sensation of being unable to breathe due to heat and lack of fresh air. “...in a way that stifled the children...”
F- choke: inability to breathe because of insufficient air or blocked airways. “if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke.”
