Answer:
A). A soliloquy is spoken while alone on stage.
Explanation:
As per the question, the key difference between a soliloquy and a monologue is that 'a soliloquy is spoken by a character to himself/herself while he/she is alone on stage' while a monologue is a conversational speech that is made by an individual to the audience directly.
However, both the devices are employed by the authors to reveal the thoughts, feelings, or opinions of the character to the audience but soliloquy on the one hand is regardless of the audience or speakers('Hamlet's talking to himself alone as 'to be or not to be' which reveal his thoughts aloud) and usually more precise while monologue on the other hand is a lengthy and tedious speech made by one character in the middle of a conversation to the audience deliberately which may or may not reveal the actual thoughts. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.
The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.
