Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Villette is the proposed intertext because of the female school setting and questions of authority, belief and narration. But “is a rewriting” is a strong critical assertion, and I cannot securely distinguish it from possible Jane Eyre arguments without a source. Wuthering Heights and North and South are less obvious models. Flag this attribution for later verification.
