Answer:

A synonym for the word 'anguish' based on the context in which the word appears in the above lines from James Joyce's "Araby" is:

B. torment

Explanation:

The lines from the Araby are the last closing lines of the story. The story ends in despair and anguish for the narrator that he felt tormented. He was unable to buy anything from the Bazaar for Mangan's sister which would have helped him to reach closer to her. Hence the word torment is the correct option.
