Landlady wanted Billy to sign the guestbook,
Option (d);
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
The story 'The Landlady' by Roald Dahl is a story of a '17-year old boy', Billy Weaver, who arrives in the new city. He wanted to make a good name in the world of business.
He is welcomed by an old landlady. She showed Billy his room and then insisted he sign in the guestbook. Though he found that there were only two names in that guestbook but still he believed the landlady.
Also, the landlady conveys the statement that it is the law for everyone to sign the guestbook before entering into the room.
What passage are you talking about
The repetition is “the same”. The effect of this repetition makes you realise that it will never be like it was before.
It refers to both the speaker’s inability to help and the drowning man’s position in the water. Thus, option "D" is correct.
<h3>What is the theme of poem?</h3>
The mother of the dead man is not a participant in the poem. She is not mentioned explicitly in any of the verses, and there is no evidence to prove she has an impact on the dead man's current situation.
It could be argued the mother plays a role in the line "'It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way'... They said", but this phrase is rather attributed to the dead man's friends, as the speaker of the phrase is referred as "They".
Thus, option "D" is correct.
