In this passage, Pip is "afraid of it all and beginning to cry" because __________.
A) he has been threatened by a strange man in the cemetery
B) he is lost on the marshes and unsure how to get home
C) he is, for the first time, aware of the world as a bleak and savage place
D) his parents and five brothers have just died
Answer:
The correct answer is C)
Step-by-step explanation:
- His father had died before he was born so option D is out of it.
- Option A false as the passage makes no mention of such
- Option B is wrong because, from his description of the environs, he had a clear understanding of where he was.
- Option C on the other hand is clearly seen from the third paragraph from the above passage.
Cheers!
