What happened to Sanaubar after she was found at the gate?

• A. She recovered, became healthy, and joined the family, and later delivered Sohrab.
• B. She remained malnourished and died soon after.
• C. She left and never returned.
• D. She was revealed to be Hassan's wife again.

Answer: (A)

Sanaubar’s return at the gate marks a turning point where past estrangement gives way to renewed kinship and care. Once brought into the fold, she is cared for, regains her health, and is welcomed back into the family, illustrating how forgiveness and connection can endure across years of separation. Her later involvement with the family, including bearing part of the next generation, shows the continuation of the family line and the enduring bonds that tie generations together. The other options don’t fit because the text does not portray her dying soon after, or leaving again, or being reidentified as Hassan’s wife. The sequence described in this option best mirrors her arc of recovery, reunion, and continuation within the family.
