The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. building of the transcontinental railroad --> disappearance of the frontier." The pair of events that did the first event most directly influence the second is the building of the transcontinental railroad --> disappearance of the frontier.
Answer:
In the given quote from the short story ‘Sredni Vashtar’ the author Saki (Hector Hugh Munro, 1870 - 1916) suggests that the main character Conradin is seeing the world to consist of two parts. His cousin Mrs. De Ropp, whom he deeply despises, belongs to the bigger part of the world (three-fifth).
Explanation:
- This part is <em>necessary</em>, because it keeps the material things around Conradin to function properly (like getting food, fresh clothing, etc).
- This part is <em>disagreeable</em>, because it imposes its rules and control over Conradin, as Mrs. De Ropp does.
- This part is <em>real, </em>because it is material, opposing to the imaginary world, with which Conradin identifies himself.
