This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

Question: In the above excerpt, which words best establish immediacy?

A) "White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape."

B) "… that I should be free."

C) "I pretended not to be interested in what they said."

D) There is no immediacy.

Answer:

The words that best establish immediacy are:

B) "… that I should be free."

Explanation:

<u>By definition, immediacy is the quality of creating excitement and a sense of urgency by involving someone instantly. Now, imagine being a slave and wishing nothing more than freedom. If someone told you to run away "...that [you] should be free," can you imagine how you would feel? The excitement this would bring? The urgency to escape and finally get rid of the cruelties done to you? For that reason, letter B is the best option. "...that I should be free" are the words that create a sense of immediacy.</u>

1. D: the Bishop is kind and caring and even though ValJean is an ex-convict he is still treated like a human being by the Bishop. Calling him 'brother' further shows how he views all people as equals. 

2. D: you would expect ValJean to be grateful for the kindness the Bishop shows him and to accept the food and lodging without causing trouble. ValJean is a former criminal but the Bishop trusted him to not steal what he had. ValJean showed the opposite of these expectations by stealing from the Bishop. 

3. C: the Bishop welcomes ValJean into his home and treats him like a real human being. The irony is that as soon as someone treats him like a normal person ValJean starts "stuttering like a madman", acting the way everyone before had assumed he would be (crazy).
