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.

Which of the following sentences contains a comma splice?
katrin2010 [14]
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are separated by only a comma. Looking at the sentences, the first one is fine because it is an independent clause followed by a dependent clause. The third sentence is really one independent clause with an appositive to describe the friend. The fourth sentence is just one independent clause. The second sentence though has two independent clauses. You can tell because in the first part of the sentence before the comma, there is a subject and verb; the second part also contains a subject and verb meaning they are not dependent on each other and therefore a comma splice.
