A
Susan
B
Jane
C
Gertrude
D
Emily
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Paul is the son of Walter and Gertrude Morel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paul was more of a companion to his mother, particularly after William’s departure to London and his eventual death; ‘Mrs Morel’s life now rooted itself in Paul’. She told him all her troubles and ‘he took it in as best he could’ as a child and a man.

Detailed explanation-3: -Even though he says he wishes she would die, Paul’s strong bond to his mother remains. He feels as though a part of him were dying also. After she dies, Paul still feels this connection: “Looking at her, he felt he could never, never let her go.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Other main characters who influence him, like his father Walter Morel, his elder brother William and especially the two girls he is having his experiences with, will be examined as well. Paul’s behaviour and his reasons are based on a complex mesh of fixation, loyalty and inhibitions.
