Explanation:
Answer:
She told her family that she had to go for a confession to the church.
Explanation:
In Christianity, especially Catholics, confessions are used as a means of absolving one's sinful ways through the priests. A person can go to the church and confess in the confessional booth to the priest who ill act as an intermediary for the person to God.
In William Shakespeare's "Rome and Juliet", Romeo and Juliet had fallen in love but due to the family feud between their two families, they aren't allowed to be together. So, they hatched a plan along with Friar Lawrence to get them married so that they will be together. For this to happen, they have to get married in secret. So, Juliet told her family that she has to go t the church for a confessional session with Friar Lawrence. But in reality, she was to be married to Romeo. This is just an excuse which will not arouse any suspicion on her act.
Answer:
Nick Caraway meets the man with the enormous owl-eyed spectacles in Jay Gatsby's library, during one of Jay's parties. Nick and Jordan had politely left their company to find Jay. The man was drunk and wanted to know what Nick and Jordan thought of Jay's enormous collection of books.
The man seemed overwhelmed by the idea that Jay actually had real books in his library and not just mere cardboard replicas to create the impression of reality. His comment that Jay is a "regular Belasco" is a reference to a famous and popular playwright, impresario, director and producer at the time, David Belasco.
The reference to one rooted in theatre implies firstly, that the library has the makings of a theatre - it is impressively large and well-stocked. Secondly, it suggests that Gatsby is putting on a show. This is the reason why the man with the spectacles is so surprised that the books are actually genuine. He expected them to be fake. Just as the room presented something theatrical, so should the books have too.
It is ironic that the man should make this comment because he accurately identifies the theatricality and artificiality of Jay's life without realizing it. The Jay who presents himself to his audience is not the real James Gatz. He has adopted a fake identity and affectations such as "old sport", to impress and convey an image of wealth and academic success.
Furthermore, the reference to the owl-eyed nature of the man's spectacles alludes to knowledge, deep scrutiny and investigation. The irony is however, that the man makes the remark whilst drunk, so even his insight is doubtful since this is the type of logic or rationalization one can expect from an inebriate. His remarks are the ramblings of a drunk and are of no consequence or import.
It's most likely D, because D is the only one that is similar to the first phrase.
