From the excerpt of "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold, the line "...on the French coast, the light/Gleams and is gone..." obviously symbolizes the impermanence of life. The light on the French coast is like an opportunity presented to us, once. We must be ready once this opportunity comes.
After reading the passage about Napoleon's speech once he returned, we can say the reason for his return was:
C. To serve the people of France.
<h3>What does Napoleon say in his speech?</h3>
- Napoleon, former emperor of France, returns from exile and then gives a speech. He says that he lives "only for the honour and for the happiness of France."
- We can infer from the line above that Napoleon has returned not because of his <u>family</u>, or to gain his <u>power </u>back and <u>reconquer </u>Europe. He has returned because, according to him, he wants to serve the people of France.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option.
This is the missing passage:
Upon his return to France from exile on Elba, Napoleon gave this speech to the people of France. Citizens, I am deeply touched by your demonstrations. Your hopes will be fulfilled; the nation's cause will triumph once more. You are right to call me your Father; I live only for the honour and for the happiness of France. —Napoleon Bonaparte, March 6, 1815
