I believe C is your best bet :) Good Luck
1) The description of the broken windows and dusty curtains in the first paragraph foreshadows the Time Traveler's later discovery that <u>the race he encounters in the novel known as the Elois is not an intelligent race and that they are quite inactive and slow in comparison to Morlocks who are the complete opposite of them.</u>
2) The Time Traveler thinks that the diet of fruit is <u>that the Elois race simply accepts the state of the situation in which they live. As mentioned previously, they are quite lethargic and with 0 will to fight back or change their fate.</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The text that has been provided above is from the Science fiction novel that has been written by H.G. Wells, named The Time machine. In the excerpt that has been given here shows that Elois is the race showing the future of human society.
Eloi is a person who does not have to do anything in his or her entire life because they have some one else to do work for them and they are their working class.
The words <span>Non sequitur, </span><span>obsequious, </span><span>sequester have their definition derived from the Latin word sequi which means "to follow" . </span>
Non sequitur means inference that doesn't follow from premises. In Latin, it literally means "it does not follow".
Obsequious is to comply. It is from the Latin words ob meaning toward, and sequi meaning to follow.
<span>sequester or entrust is also from the Latin word sequestrare meaning to hand over to a trustee. sequestrare is similar to the latin term sequi which means to follow. </span>
<span>The word exonerate is the only word that is not related to any of the words above. Exonerate means to prove that someone is not guilty of a crime. So, the answer is </span>exonerate<span>, letter A..</span>
The symbol in the excerpt <em>is the new cloak. </em>
Symbols in literature are used to signify ideas through them, which means that the author can use a symbol with the purpose of giving them symbolic meanings that in fact are completely different from the literal sense. For example, in our daily life, we can say that a white pigeon is a symbol of peace or that the color red is a symbol of love.
Since the excerpt is from the Odyssey, I can deduce that the new cloak represents Odysseus’s change from an exhausted traveler to the returning hero.
