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.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The <u>beautiful</u> girl walked to a park where there were three <u>birds</u> and one brown <u>dog</u> behind the<u> bushes</u>.

Explanation:

Dog: is a f<u>ree morpheme</u> because it can stand on itself, the morpheme coincides with the notion of the word.

Beautiful: is a bound morpheme made up of a free morpheme (beauty), which is the root, and an affix (-ful). When we add the suffix we are changing the category of the word, beuty is a noun while beautiful is an adjective, so we have a <u>derivational bound morpheme.</u>

Birds: is an<u> inflectional bound morpheme</u> because it is made up of two morphemes, a free morpheme (bird) and a bound morpheme (-s) that is modifying the number of the noun bird.

Bushes: is an <u>allomorph</u> because the pronunciation changes due to the addition of (-es), if we compare this word with the word birds, we can see that they are both plurals but the suffix and the pronunciation of the two differs, while the meaning is still the same more than one, plural.

Ratling [72]
Driving recklessly and speeding are entirely different things. You are still in control of the vehicle whilst speeding, and you may be doing it to get up a hill or to pass a semi truck in front of you. The majority of the time someone speeds, they have a reason. Driving recklessly is driving without empathy for other drivers, and purposefully driving fast and crazy. We should give speeders a chance to explain why they did, and then decide wether or not they deserve a ticket
