Historical Setting and Theme in The Land

Question 48191 • NG English I A1 - Understanding Literary Texts (Part 1)

Paul is confused about why he and Robert are going to different schools. Which quotation shows that the historical setting is the reason Paul and Robert have to go to different schools?

Answer
A
“Robert’ll go to school with me then?”
B
“Because you’re growing up.”
C
“But that’s got nothing to do with it.”
D
“But you can’t be educated in the same way.”

Explanation

The quotation “But you can’t be educated in the same way” directly explains that Paul and Robert must attend different schools because they are not allowed to receive the same education. This points to the historical setting, where social rules and discrimination kept children separated. “Because you’re growing up” does not explain why they need different schools.
