Question

Which excerpt from Life of Pi, Part I, most clearly contributes to the theme of boundaries?

A. What could justify such divine stinginess? Love, repeated Father Martin (56).
B. But religion is more than rite and ritual. There is what the rite and ritual stand for (48).
C. Despite attending a nominally Christian school, I had not yet been inside a church — and I wasn't about to dare the deed now (51).
D. Still it pleased me that this pious baker . . . and the Communist biology teacher . . . carried the same name (61).

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is C. Despite attending a nominally Christian school, I had not yet been inside a church — and I wasn't about to dare the deed now (51).

The excerpt from Part I of the adventure novel “Life of Pi”, written by Yann Martel, which most clearly contributes to the theme of boundaries is C. Despite attending a nominally Christian school, I had not yet been inside a church — and I wasn't about to dare the deed now. Even If he is a Catholic, there is a clear boundary between him and the church – he won’t even go into the church.
