The correct answer is B.
In "Araby," the boy learns that his love for Mangan's sister is in vain, that Araby is not an exotic event (despite its exotic-sounding name), and that he will not be able to buy a gift for Mangan's sister.
What he does not learn, however, is that Mangan's sister has feelings for him, too. The only thing he learns is that she is disappointed she cannot attend Araby because she has a prior commitment.
The answer would be hearkens which means "to listen"
Hope this helps! :)

At the end they are therefore asked to vacate the houses.
The story is set in Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated.
It is possibly the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature. It was written in England some time between the 8th and the early 11th century. The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf poet.”
