Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Iron and steel do not tangle like thread, cord, or rope. Perhaps chain tangles like logs, and words like jam or snag would be better to describe what happens when links twist out of line and chains of different gauge twine like tresses. Wood has water to propel them part of their way. Professional handlers have winches and pulleys and special vehicles to transport piles like the one the man now dragged up the slightly inclining driveway. The unfocused, breathless tone of this excerpt from “‘Agua Viva,’ A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez” helps convey _____.

A) the main character’s unhinged mental state
B) the urgency of the main character’s current situation
C) the feeling of claustrophobia in the main character’s workshop
D) the main character’s fear of the neighborhood boys yelling at him

Answer 1

I would say B. I'd say this because he's not exactly menatlly insane(as is A). But he's doesn't exactly seem okay. Also, at the end, the wuestion is asking what kind of situtation is he in because of his BREATHLESS TONE. I think thats especially important.
