<span>B) He is not heroic
Mr. Flood's party is a poem centered around a modern man, he feels alienated and alone in a world that has become for him meaningless. However, how he deals with this meaninglessness is what grants him the title of a hero, an existential hero or a modern hero. H</span>e becomes a hero insofar as he creates meaning for himself in a meaningless world. Here is a passage that points to this:
"For soon amid the silver loneliness
Of night he lifted up his voice and sang,
Secure, with only two moons listening,
Until the whole harmonious landscape rang—"
Servants of the Capulet and Montague houses start a fight. Benvolio sees them and rises his sword to stop the fight. On the other hand, when Tybalt sees Benvolio he immediately prepares to attack. This shows how opposites Benvolio and Tybalt are: Benvolio is a more rational, calmed man whereas Tybalt is impulsive and prone to fight.
An example of how they are foil characters can be found in their first interaction. Benvolio says to the servants,
<em>Part fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do</em>
attempting to separate them and asks Tybalt to"keep the peace" to which Tybalt replies
<em>What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee</em>
The answer is
D.<span>The storm—it was the worst in years—caused several power outages.</span>
