Question

PLS I NEED THE ANSWER FAST I MARKED AS THE SMARTEST ANSWER

Read the following sentence from "The Nose."
A feeling of despair began to take possession of him; all
the more as the streets became more thronged and the
merchants began to open their shops.
How can knowing that Ivan wanted to be alone help you determine the
meaning of the word thronged?
O A. It shows that he is becoming confused.
B. Thronged means "alone."
C. His despair must mean that there are people around.
D. He is mad and thinks the streets are coming to life.

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Definition of throng: (of a crowd) fill or be present in (a place or area).

You can infer that thronged means the town started to get busy since we see the streets began to fill with people and shops began to open. Since Ivan wanted to be alone, this would upset him.
