The correct answer is C). Reading specifically to find the rising and falling actions of the story is not a way to acquire background knowledge about the cultural context of a text.

<u>Paying attention to the rising and falling actions</u>, which lead up to the climax and come right after the climax respectively, <u>will only provide the reader with information about the story itself</u>, that is, they will not provide information related to the cultural context of that story. Cultural context refers mainly to the type of society in which the characters live, their culture and how these factors influence the way they behave. On the other hand, <u>footnotes, introductory materials, pictures, graphs and other textual aids generally offer the readers background information about the context that might be unknown for them</u>.

Reread the description of Oliver's home
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"

Below is an excerpt:

<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>

This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":

<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats.  They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>

Explanation:

The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.

The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time.  The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.

Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
