So we awaited our turn in the great hall and then we heard the Council of Vocations call our name: “Equality 7-2521.” We walked

to the dais, and our legs did not tremble, and we looked up at the Council. There were five members of the Council, three of the male gender and two of the female. Their hair was white and their faces were cracked as the clay of a dry river bed. They were old. They seemed older than the marble of the Temple of the World Council. They sat before us and they did not move. And we saw no breath to stir the folds of their white togas. But we knew that they were alive, for a finger of the hand of the oldest rose, pointed to us, and fell down again. This was the only thing which moved, for the lips of the oldest did not move as they said: “Street Sweeper.”
—Anthem, Ayn Rand

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is A) It contrasts uniform society with Equality 7-2521’s vivid thoughts and feelings.

Explanation:

<u>Even though Equality has adopted some social conventions of this collectivist society (such as using only "we" as a personal pronoun, without the individualist "I"), he still manages to retain the only part of himself that nobody can take away - his vivid thoughts, observation, and imagination.</u> Of course, he can only unveil those thoughts in his secret diary, but he hasn't lost them altogether.

The members of the Council, on the other hand, are silent, cold, and devoid of any observable emotions. Their language is laconic (concise, using a bare minimum of words without any speech ornaments such as imagery). It's as if all five of them are identical, with the only difference being the gender.

Answer:

Preposition

Adverb

Prepositional phrase

Adjective

Prepositional phrase

Adverb

Noun

Prepositional phrase

Object of the prepositional phrase

Explanation:

  • 'In' in the first sentence is a preposition as it is followed by the noun to form the prepositional phrase which will function as the adjective to modify the noun 'engineers.'
  • 'Around' in the second sentence is functioning as an adverb because it modifies the verb 'ran' and provides information about where the action took place.
  • 'At Night' in the third sentence is a prepositional phrase as it consists of a preposition plus its object(night) and function as the adverb in the sentence.
  • 'Disgruntled' in the fourth sentence functions as an adjective as it qualifies the noun 'engineers' in the sentence.
  • 'Along the river bank' is also functioning as a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adverb to modify the verb 'strolled.'
  • 'Nightly' is the adverb in the next sentence as it describes the manner in which the action was done.
  • 'Engineers' in the next sentence is the noun as it refers to the class of a people and acts as the subject in the sentence.
  • 'In the union' is also a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adjective to qualify the noun in the sentence.
  • 'Union' in the last sentence is the object of the preposition as it is followed by a preposition and forms the prepositional phrase to act like an adjective in the sentence.
