Answer:
The correct answer is E. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued.
Explanation:
The protagonist of "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a disturbed woman who thinks that there is someone living in the yellow wallpaper in her room. She is depressed and scared and has no one to help her because her husband and everyone around her won't take her seriously.
However, even despite these hallucinations and depressive bouts, she is still somewhat aware of the world around her. She says in the quote above that it would be improper or misconstrued to act on her instinct to free the woman behind the wallpaper, that is, to free herself from her prison.
