5 0

Answer: In "Through the Tunnel" Jerry starts out with the desire to feel included. He usually hangs out with his mom, where he is safe. When he sees a group of boys having fun, he decides to join them. They all swim into a tunnel shortly after. When he isn't able to swim through the tunnel, he is ridiculed. He continues to practice by himself on the days where the older boys aren't there, and once he gets badly hurt. Still, he goes and tries again. The main conflict in the story is that Jerry wants to be independent. He wants to prove to himself that he can get through the tunnel. Once he manages to do so, he spends time with his mom again or by himself. It is no longer about impressing the older boys, for he feels independent and doesn't need to do so. The moral of the story is that Jerry gets out of his comfort zone, and he is rewarded by accomplishing his goal as well as earning a sense of independence, something many adolescents struggle with. Therefore, the sentence that best summarizes the story is this: In "Through the Tunnel" Jerry challenges himself for more.

The night was magnificent, one of those nights which bring grand, vague ideas to the soul—more sensations than thoughts, perhaps
Akimi4 [234]

In this passage from “The Wedding Night”, the author uses “vivid description” to develop the characters. So, option D) is the correct one.  

Throughout the passage, there are several examples that reinforce the use of vivid descriptions such as “a sort of infinite intoxication which comes from the stars, the moon, the silver, glistening water”, “They are a glimpse of a different existence, an embellished, delicious existence”, “The night was magnificent, one of those nights which bring grand, vague ideas to the soul”.

Vivid descriptions are literary resources used to describe emotions and memories in a very clear and detailed way so that the reader produces those vivid images of the descriptions.

Option C does not apply to this part of the excerpt as there are no dialogues introduced. As regards direct and indirect characterization, the author is not describing the character’s personality through these literary resources.
