Then he turned his back on me, and went on talking to his wife; and I knew what that meant, too. I was not the kind of morsel he

was after. The typhoid had served me well enough in one way: it kept that kind of gentleman at arm’s-length. What does the narrator mean when she refers to Mr. Brympton as “that kind of gentleman”?

She refers that : She does not trust Mr. Brympton.

The narrator means that <u>she does not trust Mr. Brympton.</u>

The narrator describes a situation in which Mr. Brympton turned his back on her, which is a sign of rejection, and later mentions the good part of having "typhoid", which it's a disease characterized for affecting the physical appearance (Eruption of red spots in the skin). The disease keeps that "kind of gentleman" away. When she says that "kind of gentleman", she refers to the kind of men that are superficial and prejudiced, whose behavior changes based on how people look, and she doesn't trust that "kind of gentleman".

For instance, in the passage above the sentence, "</span><span>His heart was overflowing with love for people, animals, and things and with an all-engulfing sense of optimism and joy" involves the use of exaggeration and non-literal claims to paint a picture of a "happy man" to the reader. 

2. The correct answer is </span><span>B. Symbols generally have only one meaning.

Literary symbols such as figures of speech, metaphors, alliteration, etc., enhance the meaning of a text, adding a dramatic effect when discussing characters, objects and situations.

While literary symbols usually have a primary intended meaning for the reader, they have multiple meanings subject to the reader's interpretations of the text. </span><span>

Which statement best describes how the authors’ purposes are similar?
pav-90 [236]

An author can have several purposes for writing and it is primarily his reason for or intent for writing a certain piece. It could be to inform, entertain, amuse or persuade a reader.

An author's purpose is the reason or motivation for writing a text. When a reader knows an author's purpose, it allows for response to text and matching of texts to specific needs.

<h3>What is a purpose?</h3>

A purpose is known to be the reason for which something is done or created to exist.

An author's purpose can be reflected in the way he writes and clues about identifying a writer's purpose can be found in titles, prefaces and the author's background.

Hence, we can see that the question is incomplete as there was no text or excerpt given to indicate the similarity. A general answer was given to guide you.
