Answer:
Explanation:
To begin with the answer. This is very personal, but I would choose D. I think you have to relate things to what you know. How do other people live through the same problem? Does the author believe that the best path has been chosen, or does he/she believe that the central character is doomed to failure? And how do these comments relate to me. You are going to get the most out of any novel when you can relate to the central character or any of the characters for that matter.
I'm not concerned with C. You can read trash and what they say is likely consistent but that only means that trash is pandering to a clientele that does not want to think much. Whatever spin you put on C, agreement is not a terrific thing. It does not make you think.
I suppose B is important if you are reading non fiction. I'm not answering it that way.
A: not the answer. This is a very remote connection. Most of the time symbolism is not the main attraction of any novel nor especially of any non fiction writing. Moby D*ick is not a great novel because of its symbolism of which there is a huge amount. It is a great novel because the conflict is between man and nature and although that is symbolic, it is not as important as the character study of Ahab (who is himself a symbol). Nor or Ishmael for that matter. I will admit you have to have a Bible in one hand and Moby Di*ck in the other, but it is not critical. The theme is.
