1. I believe the correct answer is: C. Life.

 

     In Magwitch’s speech in the boat headed out of London, from the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the river represents the metaphor for life by directly applying the characteristic of river to the term of life, to which it is not literally applicable. Describing the uncertain, uncontrollable and unpredictable tide of river, Magwitch describes life:

“… that we can no longer see the bottom of the next few hours, than we can see to the bottom of this river what I catches hold of. Nor yet we can’t no more hold their tide than I can hold this. And it’s run through my fingers and gone you see!”

 

2. I believe the correct answer is: B. He was Magwitch’s partner and Miss Havisham’s fiancée.

 

     The word companion is the term used to describe the “person or animal with whom one spends a lot of time or with whom one travels”. In the “Great Expectations” of Charles Dickens, Compeyson was Magwitch’s partner in crime, which made him his “companion”. Critics argue that there is a Biblical connotation – the story of Abel and Cain, as the first name of Magwith is Abel, and Compeyson is similar to Cain in his betrayal (he betrays Magwich and tries to kill him later on).

 

3. I believe the correct answer is: B. Newgate prison.

 

     In the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, Wemmick’s “Greenhouse” is the metaphor for the Newgate Prison. This metaphor can be also considered to be an oxymoron, as the greenhouse represents the place where life constantly begins and grows, and the prison is the dark place, where life stagnates and even ends.


24. I believe the correct answer is: B. Dim.

 

     In the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the main character, Pip, learns the truth about life – money can’t buy happiness or love, the “fine gentleman and ladies” are incapable and pretenders who don’t contribute to society in any way, and that people are cruel, hypocritical and selfish. Therefore, the word which would best expresses Dickens’ world is dim – unoptimistic, gloomy and depressing.

 

5. I believe the correct answer is: C. gaudy and absurd.

 

     In this excerpt describing the funeral of Mrs. Joe, from the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the word mummery implies that funeral rituals are gaudy and absurd, as mummery is the term used to describe “ridiculous, hypocritical, or pretentious ceremony or performance”.

Read The Following excerpt from T.N. Mukharjis a visit to Europe: perhaps
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

B) Europeans believed Indians are an ignorant, uncultured people.

Explanation:

They were as much astonished to see Indians produce works of art with the aid or rude apparatus they themselves has discarded long ago, as a Hindu would be to see a chimpanzee officiating as a priest in a funeral ceremony and reading out Sanskirt texts from a plam leaf book spread before him.
