New beginning

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the passage from “The Story of an Hour,” the protagonist senses a feeling of freedom, as if a new life were about to start for her. In that matter, she believes that her husband is dead, so she makes reference to the "new spring life," to the trees that move with the wind and to the "delicious" air, which indicates the oppression of marriage she has been through and her desire for liberty.
