Answer:
Unfathomable, perplexing, mystifying, and enigmatic are all words that mean difficult to understand, explain, or identify.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.
Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:
- "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"
="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.
2. "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"
= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em><u>Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em>*See explanation for a more in-depth answer</em>
<u />
<u>Explanation:</u>
There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:
<em>“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”</em>
<em />
According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.
<em>FUN FACT:</em>
<em>The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.</em>
A sounds like the most likely answer, since it shows that she cares for him and wants to do something special for him.
