Answer:

D. encompassed

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby".

The word bazaar might also be confusing, so let's just say it's a kind of open market.

So, we have a boy who rushes into that market and finds him self in a hall around which is a gallery with lots of empty, closed stalls.

That can be enough to infer the meaning of the word "girded" which is "surrounded", "encompassed" or "encircled".

C.) The line breaks make sure that the reader slows down as they read

Explanation:

The poem has these breaks in the lines to serve as a way for the reader to see the emphasize on the meaning behind the words.

"What your mother tells you

now

in time

you will come to know",

The bolded words are read slower and the meaning is emphasized on them compared to if the poem were written as, "What your mother tells you now in time you will come to know." Thus these breaks trigger the reader to slow down and fathom the meaning of the words more.
