Read the excerpt from “The City of Invention,” in which the writer describes the City of Invention, and answer the question. . . . it glitters and glances with life, and gossip, and colour, and fantasy: it is brilliant, it is illuminated, by day by the sun of enthusiasm and by night by the moon of inspiration. It has its towers and pinnacles, its commanding heights and its swooning depths; it has public buildings and worthy ancient monuments, which some find boring and others magnificent. It has its central districts and its suburbs, some salubrious, some seedy, some safe, some frightening. Given the writer’s comments about Jane Austen’s writings, in which part of the City of Invention would the “house” of Sense and Sensibility most likely be found? A. in a “salubrious” suburb B. in a “seedy” part of town C. in the “commanding heights” D. in the boring “public buildings”

Answer:

D. in the boring “public buildings”

Step-by-step explanation:

Sense and Sensibility recount to the tale of the ruined Dashwood family, concentrating on the sisters Elinor and Marianne, embodiments of good sense (sense) and reasonableness (sensibility), separately. They become dejected upon the passing of their dad, who leaves his home, Norland Park, to their step brother, John. In spite of the fact that taught to deal with his sisters, John is prevented of his obligation by his voracious spouse, Fanny.
