The last leaf. How does the description of the ivy vine in paragraph 18 contribute to the tone of the passage?

B. It shows the hopelessness of being fragile

Explanation:

Sue looked solicitously  out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine, gnarled and decayed at the roots, climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had stricken its leaves from the vine until its skeleton branches clung, almost bare, to the crumbling bricks.

The paragraph helps the reader understand that because the vine is so fragile and weak, it can demonstrate the hopelessness of one being very fragile.
