Answer:
E. reinforce the author’s overarching claim about ordinary people’s capacity for success
Explanation:
Answer E
Correct. A base metal is a metal of little monetary value, as opposed to a precious metal like gold. In stating that “from apparently the basest metals we have the finest toned bells,” the author asserts that a material that is considered worthless can nevertheless become the medium for the beautiful sound of a high-quality bell. He notes that people who are not valued by society (“simple manhood,” “dregs of society”) can similarly achieve great things sometimes. He then observes that steel objects and rusty razors can actually improve in quality after being left “neglected and forgotten” in the dirt, reflecting that the most marginalized and maligned of people (“the lowly and despised”) can similarly become agents of “improvement and progress” for the world. The comparison between metals and people thus reinforces the author’s thesis that people who do not seem to possess great talent or many advantages can still achieve extraordinary things (“excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters”).
Inferred you are referring to literary work.
Explanation:
Note that the writer uses the forest to paint how one would actually feel if one is alone in the forest, using the castle tower room gives the reader the idea about feeling unsafe in a seemingly safe place.
The symbolic significance of the forest setting tells us that the speaker may either be dreaming and as such be in an unconscious state of mind.
Thus, the speaker is frightened to the core because of his perceived ordeal in place of isolation–the forest.
