The correct answer is <em><u>option A and option C.</u></em>  In the excerpt, the "school setting the kids free" symbolizes the boys being set free from Church and its impositions. The blind street symbolizes the aimless and drab life on North Richmond Street. Araby is a short story written by James Choice and published on 1914. It is the story of how a boy gets infatuated with a girl, that he wants to buy her a present from the Araby Bazaar. The story is filled with religious and church symbolism. When the narrator says that "North Richmond Street is blind" he is expressing the aimless and dull lifestyle of the community, immersed in religion. He is using the street as a representation of his community and how detached he finds himself from it, as his faith is dying.

Answer:

B :The uninhabited house represents the narrator's feeling of emptiness.

C: The blind street symbolizes the aimless and drab life on North Richmond Street.

Explanation:

B.The narrator , who  is a schoolboy, feels the routine and the aimless life of "brown" Dublin. He observes this dull lifestyle in the people from the Street and, also, in his uncle. All of them are attached to their routines. This makes the narrator feel empty.

C- The fact that the street is blind means that the poeple from Dublin are so inmersed in their routines that they cannot  see any other alternative for a better or more meaningful life. The narrator is the one who expresses his need to escape from this dullness. He thinks he has fallen in love with a girl , but then, he thinks this infatuation has just been an illusion.

Read the excerpt adapted from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce: The wide playgrounds were swarming with boys
frutty [35]

Answer:

D. Gloomy.

Explanation:

James Joyce's "Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man" follows the life of the protagonist Stephen Dedalus, focusing on his intellectual and religious awakening. At the same time, it also deals with the themes of betrayal, alienation, and finding his identity on his way to becoming the famous person he will be.

As seen in the given passage from the text, we see a young Stephen among other boys on the playground. While the others were playing football, he remained on the sidelines, <em>"out of sight of his captain, out of the reach of the rude feet, pretending to run now and then"</em>. Added to that, the narrator states that the <em>"evening air was pale and chilly"</em>. Through these words, we can know that the <u>scene's mood is gloomy</u>, with no real sense of happiness or excitement in the young Stephen.

The title of the poem the legend alludes to
mina [271]

Answer:

The character of the man who is shot on the street.

Explanation:

The name of poem "The Legend" has many different interpretations. However, the most significant one is the fact that the author wants us to identify this man as a "legend." This is not because of what happens to him, but because of what he makes us realize about ourselves. The story of the man resembles a legend because he was ignored and under appreciated in his own society. People were unsympathetic to him, even when he lay dying. However, he will achieve his redemption in heaven, and the story will become one of hope for society, much like other legends.
