Read the following excerpt from "the pedestrian' by ray bradbury:
and on his way he would see the cottages and homes with
their dark windows, and it was not unequal to walking
through a graveyard where only the faintest glimmers of
firefly light appeared in flickers behind the windows.
sudden gray phantoms seemed to manifest upon inner
room walls where a curtain was still undrawn against the
night, or there were whisperings and murmurs where a
window in a tomb-like building was still open.
which statement best explains how the setting affects the meaning of the
story?
o
a. the firefly light conveys a feeling of nostalgia for long summer
evenings spent with family
o
b. the phrase "whispting and murmurs' suggests that the main
character has fits ovladness.
o
c. the water and wave motif conveys the queasy feeling the narrator
has when walking alone at night.
o
d. the comparison of the street to a graveyard suggests that
something is terribly wrong with society.
