Question

What is the figurative meaning of this sentence from the excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Mini is the joy of the narrator's life, and her departure will leave a void.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Tagore's "Cabuliwallah", Mini's father, the narrator of the story, talks about his daughter's wedding that takes place during the Puja holiday, at the end of which, according to Hindu mythology, Durga returns to Mount Kailas.

Comparing this event to his daughter's departure from his home after wedding, he stresses the loss he will suffer after the leaving of his beloved daughter.
