Answer: B. the fragile nature of existence
Explanation:
The two excerpts are from "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", by James Joyce, and from "Mrs. Dalloway," by Virginia Woolf. Both share the common theme of the fragile nature of existence. Woolf describes a character that is wondering about her own existence, and its importance or the possibility of her life not being important, as "all this must go on without her." Both excerpts show ideas about the fragile nature of existence, not the absence of love, nor reality or disillusionment with the world.
The answer is B what effect is the writer trying to create by using this language
I believe he is just being realistic. He is arguing that the American Dream can indeed offer opportunities that are not available to people anywhere else. However, this does not mean that everyone has the chance to become equally successful and wealthy. Your chances and your success are going to be determined by factors such as ability, or achievement. It is a more realistic view of what the "dream" actually looks like in practice.
