What is adam's response to eve's confession and plea of reconciliation? he reluctantly took eve back. he accepted her apology. he took her back as a further act of defiance toward god. his anger disappeared, as he too wanted to patch thing up.

I believe his anger disappeared, as he too wanted to patch things up.

This has to do with Milton's Paradise Lost, where Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, and then made Adam do it as well, which caused them to fall from grace. She started apologizing to Adam, saying that it was in fact her own fault, and because they loved each other, he forgave her because he wanted to be with his wife again.
