Su

B

explain why the speaker was initially reluctant to enter the "solid hedge."

С

contrast "real rooms" with the room the speaker creates for herself in the

raspberry patch.

D

compare the speaker's experiences as a child with her experiences as an

adult

A bit late but here's the B: explain why the speaker was initially reluctant to enter the “solid hedge.”

Explanation:

The lines are:

I was trying so hard to love this world—real rooms too big and full  of worry to comfortably inhabit—but believing I was born

to live in that cloistered green bower: the raspberry patch

in the back acre of my grandparents’ orchard.

B is the right answer because "I was trying so hard to love this world—real rooms too big and full  of worry to comfortably inhabit" is basically stating that the speaker was "trying" to love that world, but was unable to due to the fact that the speaker was worried.

is this multiple choice?

the answer is a)   a sentence of death costs the state "almost three times as much as a sentence of life in prison" (delon 147)
