Question 7 • LISD English II A

Which details help the reader visualize the scene in the passage? Select two options.

Answer
A
“After my work in the City, I like to be at home. What’s the good of a home, if you are never in it?”
B
“Our old friend Gowing may drop in without ceremony; so may Cummings, who lives opposite.”
C
“There is always something to be done: a tin-tack here, a Venetian blind to put straight, a fan to nail up, or part of a carpet to nail down.”
D
“all of which I can do with my pipe in my mouth; while Carrie is not above putting a button on a shirt, mending a pillow-case, or practising the “Sylvia Gavotte” on our new cottage piano”
E
“It is also a great comfort to us to know that our boy Willie is getting on so well in the Bank at Oldham.”

Explanation

C and D give concrete details of objects and activities inside the home: a tin-tack, Venetian blind, fan, carpet, pillow-case, and piano. These specific details help readers picture the room and what the characters are doing. The other choices mainly tell us about the narrator’s feelings, visitors, or Willie’s job.
