In the following question given below, a paragraph is given from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.



Rosario Ferre is one of a group of angry young Puerto Rican women authors who have seized the pen and wielded it effectively. Educated on the island and the mainland, Ferre is the daughter of a former governor of Puerto Rico and by birth a member of the upper-class, conservative society she satirizes in her fiction. She has acknowledged that writing is for her a destructive as well as a constructive endeavor and that she is driven by a need for vengeance and a desire to give permanence to what hurts and to what attracts her.


a. Ferre has spoken of the need to rewrite “history” as it should have occurred and in Papeles de Pandora she engages in revisionary mythopoesis.


b. The anger that impels much of her work is evident in her 1976 collection of stories and poems, Papeles de Pandora.


c. Her stories show not only the roles in which women are often cast but also the attempts some women make to break out of those roles.


d. Ferre's book tells what Molly Hite has termed the other side of the story, the alternative version that gives events a different set of emphases and values.
