The correct answer is D. The poet feels that traditional sources of inspiration are ineffective in the modern world

Explanation:

In the poem "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", the author T.S. Eliot explores multiple themes including love, inspiration, and the contrast between the modern world and the past. In the excerpt presented, the author refers to traditional poetry and the inspiration he finds in it by using the mermaids as a symbol, this can be seen in the line "I have heard the mermaids singing each to each" that shows how the mermaids or traditional poetry sing or give ideas to the poet.

However, it seems this inspiration is not as effective as the author expects because in the end, the author and the mermaids "drown". Also, the cause of the traditional poetry drowning is the "human voices" which likely refers to the loss of traditional values in the modern how and the mundanity of it.

Read the excerpt below from the Yung Wing's book My life in China and America published in 1909.
pochemuha

The inference is that the sentence that best identifies the purpose of the excerpt is D. She seemed to take a special interest in me; I suppose, because I was young and helpless, and away from my parents, besides being the youngest pupil in the school.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

It should be noted that an inference simply means the conclusion that can be deduced based on the information given.

In this case, the narrator stated that her kindly expression and sympathetic smiles found little appreciative response at the outset, as I stood half dazed at her personality and my new environment.

Therefore, the inference is that the sentence that best identifies the purpose of the excerpt is that she seemed to take a special interest in me; I suppose, because I was young and helpless, and away from my parents, besides being the youngest pupil in the school.
