Answer:
... Heathcliff and Catherine went there on a Sunday to see how the Linton children spent their time. ... She became torn between her love for Heathcliff and her desire to become part of the genteel society.
Blank 1: C
Blank 2: A
Explanation:
This question is about the famous novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. Heathcliff and Catherine are the main characters. Heathcliff comes from a poor background. He is clearly a boy who has suffered a great deal and who carries resentment in his heart. Catherine is a spoiled girl who ends up falling for Heathcliff, but whose aspirations keep her from owning up to her love.
The excerpt we completed talks about when the Lintons become a part of the story as well. The Linton children, Edgar and Isabella, will end up marrying Catherine and Heathcliff, respectively. Catherine ends up giving in to her desire of becoming a part of a more elevated social rank. Heathcliff marries Isabella out of sheer revenge and anger.
