- Select the correct text in the passage. Which two sentences in these excerpts from Kate Chopin's "The Locket" reflect the theme of holding on to love despite time and distance. The letter had made Edmond heart sick and home sick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars.But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when the bees were humming in the clematis; when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother with their names and the date of their marriage.It was her most precious earthly possession. __ Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had retumed to her sanctified in her eyes;made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence. __ Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green,and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.
- Select the correct text in the passage. In "The Open Boat,Stephen Crane shows that man projects his own fears on nature, while nature remains indifferent. Which two parts of the excerpt reflect this theme? Canton flannel gulls flew near and far. Sometimes they sat down on the sea, near patches of brown seaweed that rolled on the waves with a movement like carpets on a line in a gale.The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dingey, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes. At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone. One came, and evidently decided to alight on the top of the captain's head. The bird flew parallel to the boat and did not circle, but made short sidelong jumps in the air in chicken-fashion. His black eyes were wistfully fixed upon the captain's head."Ugly brute," said the oiler to the bird."You look as if you were made with a jack-knife." The cook and the correspondent swore darkly at the creature The captain naturally wished to knock it away with the end of the heavy painter; but he did not dare do it,because anything resembling an emphatic gesture would have capsized this freighted boat,and so with his open hand, the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow grewsome and ominous.
