The opposing characters are Maitre Hauchecorne and <span>Maitre Malandain, two peasants who had had a quarrel before, and now they enter another dispute. Namely, Hauchecorne found a worthless piece of string on the ground and, being very economical, picked it up from the ground. When he realized that his "enemy" Malandain had seen him, he pretended that he was just looking for something he dropped. Later on, Hauchecorne gets accused of finding a lost pocketbook with money and not wanting to return it. The key witness was, of course, Malandain. This is the main conflict of the story, and it will ultimately be the reason for Hauchecorne's illness and death.
Hauchecorne and Malandain are actually very similar. Both are cunning and practical. Just like Hauchecorne is actually capable of finding a lost thing and keeping it (even though he didn't do it in this case), Malandain is capable of intentionally lying, just to spite Hauchecorne.</span>

Answer: c. Nevertheless
<em>Nevertheless</em> means "in spite of." It indicates that despite the circumstances of the first sentence, the second sentence occurred (against all odds).

However, they passed, which means that the circumstances of the first sentence were not an obstacle for the events of the second sentence to occur.
Answer:
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead, Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"—
Explanation:
The two sections of this excerpt from T.S Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" that contain a biblical allusion are <em><u>Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,</u></em> and
<em><u>To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead, Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"—</u></em>
From the two sections, allusions are made first of all to John the Baptist whose head was brought on a platter for King Herod and Lazarus who was raised from the dead by Jesus. These are two valid events that happened and are recorded in the Bible.
