The right answer is *None of the above* because Dickinson is saying that they went by the school (they "...passed the school...").

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The item "passed" is used in this context as going through a phase of life. Phrasel verb shows school as a step of life for only a short period of time before someone can continue a journey. It does refers to any especifc moment of someones life, such as childhood, adulthood of senior years.
