The speaker is Holden Caulfield, the narrator of the cult novel "The Catcher in the Rye", by recluse writer J.D. Salinger. Holden is a teenager who escapes a boarding school in order to spend a few days in New York, where he interacts with strangers and experiences new things.
Meaning and context: When Holden says he has Jane Gallagher on the brain again, he means he cannot stop thinking about her. Jane is a girl whom he deeply admires, but at the same time he never makes the first move. When he learns his roommate has a date with Jane, he is assaulted by jealousy. The complete quote goes like this:
"All of a sudden, on my way out to the lobby, I got old Jane Gallagher on the brain again. I got her on, and I couldn't get her off."
Answer: I believe it means to create/cause change within someone.
Explanation: Just what I remember.
Answer: I'd strongly say D
Explanation:
A and B are just describing a current setting and the mood of the characters without much pop of an adventure, so I'd eliminate A and B.
C is tempting to choose, but for me, it would be a semi-trap answer considering the other option of D, which I'll further elaborate on later. C is depicting to the reader of the grandma apprising a girl about her journey to America, which is not that adventurous in the present because grandma is just saying a story, not being physically in it. I'd say this maybe could work because grandma is also technically being in an adventure in the past, but there could be a stronger option. Also, it kind of seems boring, and adventurous stories have to be adventurous. I'd eliminate it personally.
D perfectly matches the tone of an adventurous story. According to the Oxford Dictionary, adventure is described as an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. You don't usually see somebody running so quickly on the street, and it seems exciting to the reader because it grabs their attention, and they are not just focused on one setting. We don't know who or what is causing him to run so much, but it definitely includes a physical activity. Aside from the definition, it also provides a lot of excruciating detail, so it makes it seem adventurous.
The answer is D.
C is also a good option, but D is stronger. If D was not there, C would be your best option.
