1. The correct answer appears to be B. The stream of consciousness technique, as this excerpt showcases Woolf's innovative narrative approach. This method provides insight into the internal thoughts of various characters throughout the piece (in this example, Septimus's thoughts). 2. I believe the right answer is C. intense anxiety and fear; the vivid description immerses us in the troubled mind of the war veteran, Septimus. Words like wavered, quivered, burst, and throb evoke his profound anxiety and fear. 3. I think the accurate answer is C. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold." The scene's description mirrors the poetry line “Things fall apart; the center cannot hold,” from Yeats. Septimus feels responsible for preventing the world from descending into chaos: “It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the pavement, for a purpose?”
In realistic fiction, main characters often experience significant transformation. A prime example of this is Louise Mallard in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour". The passage that illustrates Louise's change is "She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her...And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome." After learning about her husband's death, Louise feels a sense of liberation, envisioning the upcoming years as her own.
I believe that the most appropriate choice is A.
I concur with Hoover's assertion that capitalism engenders greed. This stems from capitalism emphasizing that businesses should primarily, if not solely, focus on profit maximization. There is insufficient attention given to how those profits are acquired or whether societal harm occurs in the process. The only solution is enforcing regulations that restrict the operational scope of businesses and corporations.
The text "The Roaring Twenties" by Mike Kubic illustrates this point by revealing how President Coolidge failed to implement policies that could have halted or mitigated the Great Depression. A personal anecdote reflects how companies often hesitate to increase wages for long-term employees. Lastly, literature provides an example in The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, where the author highlights factory abuses aimed at increasing profit margins.
