    The best answer to the question: Which best explains the connotation conveyed by the author's use of both "delicious" and "grotesque" in the sentence, would be: Edna is conflicted; she is both disgusted and delighted by the changes taking place inside her.

    Explanation:

    The best reason for choosing this answer is the use of the word "torn" in relation with how Edna sees what is happening in her life. First, she sees her past, what happened in it and it disgusts her, but still, she feels torn between choosing what made part of her past, or choosing what might be coming. So she feels conflicted, because she knows that the changes might lead her, possibly, towards a brigther and better future, but, there is still conflict inside her as she still seems unsure about whether the changes taking place inside are good "delighted", or bad "disgusted". Or if she would rather stay with the old her, or give step to the new person after the changes have taken effect.
