Question

I collected bones from charnel-houses, and disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame. In a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house, and separated from all the other apartments by a gallery and staircase, I kept my workshop of filthy creation; my eyeballs were starting from their sockets in attending to the details of my employment.Which option best describes the information conveyed by the phrase "a solitary chamber, or rather cell, at the top of the house"?A. Victor's sense of being challenged to understand the structure of the bodyB. Victor's sense of isolation as he continues his work alone in his apartmentC. Victor's awareness that he will come to regret the completion of his workD. Victor's awareness that he is pursuing knowledge others consider forbidden

Answer 1

The answer is:

B. Victor's sense of isolation as he continues his work alone in his apartment.

In "Frankenstein," by Mary Shelley, Victor describes his confinement in his apartment as he works with body parts to complete his creation. He depicts his workshop as a room on top of the house, and that a gallery and a staircase keep it apart from the other apartments. Soon he becomes so enthusiastic about his pursuit that he loses contact with the outside world.

Answer 2

B. Victor's sense of isolation as he continues his work alone in his apartment
