Answer:

They missed the safety and comfort of home.

Explanation:

Based on the excerpt, the reason the people who were captured stop flying is because they missed the safety and comfort of their home.

In other words, this simply means that, since the reason they forgot about flying, was when they could no longer breathe the sweet scent of Africa, sweet scents of Africa translates to missing the safety and comfort of their homes.

To breathe the sweet scent of Africa does not translates to: saving power to escape.

Nor, not wanting anyone to know about their special power.

Also, it does not translates to being able to fly over land, but not over water.

Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"

Below is an excerpt:

<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>

This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":

<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats.  They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>

Explanation:

The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.

The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time.  The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.

Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
