Answer:
In the sentence, the writer describes:
A. the central idea.
Explanation:
<u>We can define central idea as a declarative sentence whose purpose is to state the main topic of, for instance, an essay or a speech. That topic will be developed and supported with evidence and details throughout the work. A central idea can express a fact as well as an opinion.</u>
The sentence we are analyzing here is an example of a central idea. It states the topic this author will develop. According to him/her, Elizabethan women had oppressive lives. His/her work will expand this topic and support it with historical evidence.
This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.
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.
