Question

Read the following passage.

"But there?" said Cavor, and very carefully stepped nearer the edge of the gallery. I followed his example, and craned forward and looked down, but I was dazzled by that gleam of light above, and I could see only a bottomless darkness with spectral patches of crimson and purple floating therein.
Which is the best definition for the italicized word gallery as it is used above?

a long enclosed passage
a building used to display artwork
a narrow raised platform
a group of spectators

Answer 1

A narrow raised platform

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

C) A narrow raised platform

Step-by-step explanation:

-long enclosed passage would not make sense since the speaker indicates "looking down".

-A building would not make sense because they are not specifying the 'edge' of a building gallery (which would be inside).

-A narrow raised platform would make the most sense since they are looking down onto something.

-Last answer is pointless because there is no indication of other people aside from Cavor and the speaker.
