b. <em>dead members of the community in their graves </em>, this is the correct option.
Thomay Gray, a XVIII English poet, is contemplating the situation: the source of inspiration of his poem ,"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". Through this elegy, he will lament death but the villagers' death mainly. "<em>The rude forefathers of the hamlet ......", </em>this line refers<em> </em>to<em> </em>the simple ancestors from the town, who are the poor villagers. These are buried in the churchyard: " <em>narrow</em> <em>cell forever laid.</em>..// ...<em>sleep</em>.."
The following options are wrong:
a. the townspeople asleep in their beds . The poet uses metaphorical language ; he uses the word "sleep" to mean dead.
c. prisoners in the town jail . The poet uses the word "cells" metaphorically to mean graves. He also uses the word "rude" to mean simple.
d. townspeople who died in prison. Same explanation as above.
'b' is correct It's a question, so you need a question mark
"Are you a doctor?" she asked.
Answer:
The house, a very large mansion the pair inherited from their grandparents, is a large building divided in two living segments. At the entrance one enters a vestibule leading to the atrium, which consists of a living room, two bedrooms on either sides and, separated by a corridor, the kitchen and a bathroom. The second half of the house, entered through a massive oak door, contains the brother’s library, three other bedrooms and a dining room. Due to the disproportions between the surface of the residence and the daily needs of the two inhabitants, the second segment is entered only for cleaning purposes or for the occasional retrieving of a book from the library.
The monotony of domestic life ends abruptly when the brother hears distinct -yet dissimilar- sounds coming from the second section of the large house. Promptly closing the door, in order to keep whatever is there from coming through, the brother tells his sister that “They’ve taken over the back part.” Although saddened by the loss of part of their belongings, the circustamce appears to the two rather unremarkable, (“happened so simply and without fuss”), like being something they were already waiting, from entities they knew would have come.
