Question

Drumbeats are a recurring _____ in Nectar in a Sieve. A:metaphor

B:motif
C:symbol
D:theme

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B.

Answer 2

I believe the drumbeats are a recurring motif for change in Nectar in a Sieve. The problem with this question is that symbol could also be considered an answer since the drums occur throughout the story whenever change happens, which makes the drums symbolize change. However, motif would be a more accurate answer than symbol.

I really hope this helps you...good luck!
