The epitaph of Mrs. Purkapile is part of Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology". It was published in 1915. This is a sequence of 245 free-verse epitaphs that are presented in the form of monologues. They are written from the point of view of deceased citizens of a small town.
The correct answer is option C: "And out of respect for my own character / I refused to be drawn into a divorce." These lines directly state the reason that Mrs. Purkapile had for staying married.
I think that the author decided to begin passage 2 with a description of the city in order to immerse the reader in the environment and the conditions in which babbitts are. The writer only wants to emphasize that a situation in which babbitts are, somehow has a connection with the area in which they are located, that is the city.
The author's decision to start passage 2 with the description of the city is to emphasize the condition in which the Babbitts live.
This refers to the use of vivid descriptions to create a mental image in the minds of a reader.
Hence, we can see that from the complete text, there is the use of imagery to make descriptions of the city and how the Babbitt's conditions truly were.

The following are some of the causes of the Civil War:
Border disputes: As the United States continued to expand and gain more territory, each new state added power either to the South or to the North. This made border disputes grow and play a key role in the evolution of the conflict between the North states and the South states, which ended in the Civil War.
Trade difficulties: In 1857, representatives of the Southern states set lower tariffs on imported goods. This created resentment on the Northern representatives, which main economic activity was based on different type of industries.
Individual freedom: Perhaps the main cause of the Civil War was the two opposite views on individual freedom that the Northern states had in comparison to the Southern states. Southern state's relied heavily on farming and most of their citizens and leaders believed it was their right to posses and to expand slavery throughout the country, as they needed the slaves to work on their farms. Citizens of the Northern states were calling for the abolition of slavery and the importance of individual freedom for every human living in the United States, including the slaves.
