It is a symbolic way to describe that the girl refuses to be a part of the society. The girls comparison of fur piece to the fried fish is a manifestation of the depressed state of mind. The boy and the girl can't seem to understand how anyone could wear fur. It shows that others have a difficult time relating to Mrs. bill.
Of those offered, flashback is the most used in this selection. The other choices have to be very carefully discussed to be eliminated, however we have to defend flashback as well.
He is thinking back to a time -- pre monster -- where all was good and all was well and he was happy with his bride. Now he thinks only of revenge. He wants only to murder the monster as the monster has done to his family. He is cataloging his current feelings with those of the past.
It is not stream of consciousness. The technique had not been developed yet. This is well organized and on one topic. Stream of consciousness doesn't work that way.
foil
It is not a foil that has been created. Frankenstein hates the creation. It has robbed him of everything that is dear to him (his family mostly). A foil is not a strong enough description of the monster. He has not been created to give us incite into Frankenstein. The monster is a full blown antagonist.
Flash Forward.
The device used is flash back, not flash forward. Not in this section anyway. He is looking backwards when he gets to feel the joy of having his family. He gets this joy in sleep and he dreams of what they were. They are happy people in his dreams.
Paradox
A paradox is a contradiction that still is true. My favorite is "This sentence is false." If it is false, then it's true. And if it is true then the statement is false. You can't win.
It is not a paradox. Frankenstein's feelings are very straight forward.

Margaret Spokes, the headmaster’s wife, can be described in one word as (B) Proper.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The story “Next term, We'll Mash You” by “Penelope Lively” is a story about the boy who is scared about his boarding school throughout. He goes with his parents to visit his boarding school. But he doesn’t quite like the school as there are “inky tables“, “rungless chairs” as described by the author in the story. Even the headmaster thinks the students are nuisances.
When Charles meets the other boys, they threaten him to beat the next time as they have this tradition of beating the new entrants.
Margaret Spokes is a stagnant personality who uses heightened language in the plot, pretentious in nature. In her meeting, she hardly even notices charles. All she wanted is the proper respect from the students.
