Answer:

C. because running an ad for a missing nose would make the newspaper look silly.

Explanation:

Nikolai Gogol's short story "The Nose" tells the story of how a fine young officer of the law, Collegiate Assessor Kovaloff lost his nose one night. And from then on, his self esteem plummeted and left him with no choice but to try to get it back with whatever means he can. This short story is also a satiric play on how society puts so much importance on a person's appearance.

Major Kovaloff went to the newspaper agency to get his advertisement published as fast as possible so as to prevent the nose from escaping. But the old clerk told him that they will not be able to print his advertisement. He told him that an ad like this will only bring shame and embarrassment to the newspaper that is already in trouble with "enough false reports and rumors".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

1. The speaker is most likely a common man living in a town in Victoria. The fact I understand from the text is that, the speaker is a patriotic person. He is so sad about the destruction caused after, probably a war.

2. In my Opinion, this poem is trying to give a vivid picture of a place after a war, probably.

3. The speaker's tone towards the city is a pity as well as a humorous tone. His reference "Here are broken fingerbones of clay pipes" is a pitiful statement and his words "and mud is thick as meat".

4. I think the poem literally comes between the year 1990 - 1999. This is proved when he refers "air sweet as rust" as there were wars during that time in major parts of Asia.

5. The words mud is thick as meat, seed stained black, inner city's chalk, broken fingerbones of clay piles etc are some of the main humorous as well as unimaginable quotes made by the speaker in order to say about his feelings of the ruined city.

Hope it helps you...
