The answer for the second one is True
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Marlow calls a highly flawed colonialist official a "supernatural being."
Explanation:
Heart of Darkness is a novel by Joseph Conrad, who was a Polish-British writer. The book tells the story of a trip to the Congo Free State, considered as the Heart of Africa. Charles Marlow is the narrator of the novel. Since the story is being told from a trip up the River Thames, Conrad creates a parallelism between London and Africa. Sarcasm is defined as a device that mocks trying to attack a person or a group of people through irony or satire.
From the option, letter A contains sarcasm because Marlow assigns the colonialist supernatural characteristics just because of the context, meaning that the guy could be just another one in a different situation, or even someone despicable.
Answer:
Instead of asking the Hales for money, Ethan Frome turns back and returns home, setting aside the plans to run away with Mattie.
Explanation:
Edith Wharton's novel "Ethan Frome," tells the story of Ethan Frome and his struggle with his sick wife Zeena and his love for Mattie, his wife's cousin. Struggling to maintain what life is for him, the story delves into the concepts of what society expects of a person despite it being contrary to what one really wants.
Ethan wanted to run away with Mattie for he loves her. And so, deciding to ask for an advance to the Hales for the lumber, he went out to intercept Andrew Hale's wagon only to find Mrs. Hale. She told him that her husband is at home so Ethan went in that direction. His plan was to leave the farm and mill for Zeena and acquire the money for his and Mattie's life. But while walking towards the Hales' residence, his conscience took the better part of him. And so, instead of asking the Hales for money, he turned back and walked towards home without the money.
