Answer:

The correct answer is It describes a turning point in George and Emily's romance.

Indeed, at this point Emily and George are already in love, yet George has plans to go to College and study agriculture which will inevitably separate them, possibly forever. The conflict George and Emily have foreshadows their future separation by death. George, because of his studies and extracurricular activities is drifting apart from all his friends and from Emily. Her criticism of his conceited behavior signifies her pain for the death of their love which foreshadows her actual death during the birth of their child three years later. George, touched deeply by her love for him decides that their love might seem less important than his educational and professional perspectives but because it is as unique as life itself it deserves to be preserved and renounces his ambitions. Had he gone through with his plans their separation would have likely been certain and permanent. The tragic paradox is that their love survives but it is short and precious as their short life together, yet it is worth saving.

Because it’s pretty hard to walk around with people staring at your "towel-head” and not feel kind of pleased with yourself if you manage to get through the stares and comments with your head held high. That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself, knowing God’s watching you, knowing that He knows you’re trying to be strong and please Him. Like you’re both in on a private joke and something special and warm and extraordinary is happening and nobody else in the world knows about it because it’s your own experience, your own personal friendship with your Creator. I guess when I’m not wearing the hijab I feel like I’m missing out. I feel cheated out of that special bond.

Which excerpt from The Number Devil best shows that one purpose of Robert's character is to oppose the number devil?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

"How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • “You sound as though you never went to school. Or maybe you are a teacher yourself?”
  • "How dumb can you get!" said Robert. "A colossal waste of time if you ask me. So get going! Scram! Shoo!"
  • "I'm sorry," Robert said meekly, though the whole thing was getting weirder and weirder.
  • "It's just that all those ones give me a headache. They actually make things more complicated than they are."

This is the quote that best describes how the dynamic between the number devil and Robert develops throughout the story. In this sentence, we see that Robert opposes the character and wishes of the devil. While the devil wants to help Robert, and considers himself quite intelligent, Robert keeps reminding him of the fact that he is "dumb" and that Robert does not want his help. Therefore, we learn that one purpose of Robert's character is to oppose the number devil.
