Question

The phrases "Hey boy" and "Com'mere boy" (lines 46241, 67417, 22882, 75938, 49112) are an instance of
I. Interjections to prove a point
II. Speech of a villager
III. Indirect dialogue

• A. I only
• B. II only
• C. III only
• D. II and III

Answer 1

The correct option is C III only

Here, "Hey, Boy!" and "Com'mere boy!" are an example of indirect speech and not interjections to prove a point, and not an example for speech of a villager. They are a command for the narrator’s attention and are derogatory because they call him “boy” and don’t address him by name. So, option C is the correct answer.
