Question

The passage as a whole is best described as which of the following?

• A. A paean to rural life
• B. An elegy for a lost time
• C. A detailed description of a place
• D. An epiphanic moment in a young man's life
• E. An allegory of a homeward journey

Answer 1

The correct option is C A detailed description of a place

From the given options, option A) A paean to rural life means a song of triumph to rural life which is incorrect with reference to the passage.

Elegy in option B) is a poem that is said in memory of the dead and therefore is also incorrect with reference to the passage.

An epiphanic moment mentioned in option D) is a moment of truth or realisation and is also irrelevant in relation to the passage.

Option E is also incorrect as there is no allegory in the passage.

Therefore, the most apt answer is option C) a detailed description of a place because the passage does give a detailed description of the place where Lin's home is.
