Question

5. The image of the "blurred yellow rectangle of a taxicab" in the final paragraph helps dramatize

Answer 1

Answer:

B The dizzying height from which the narrator regards the city streets

Explanation

In the scene in which the image of the taxicab appears, the narrator is standing 70 feet above the ground, on the fire stair of the Carnegie Hall.

In one of the previous sentences, he describes how he clenches tightly to the railing, while in the same sentence he refers to "the steep drop" and "reaching me from seven floors below".

These are the reasons why we know he refers to the dizzying heights and not the effects of the rain, even though it is the stormy night.

We also know he is not in the taxicab or at Times Square, which is why options C and E are not true, and he does not talk about any other taxicabs, which is why option D is false.
