To get the answers to the multiple-choice questions:
6. The speaker's tone can be determined by analyzing the language and context of the passage. In this case, the speaker is making fun of the landlord's ignorance and mocking the English people's gullibility. Therefore, the word that best describes the speaker's tone is "mocking."
7. To determine the relationship between the Mother and her family, we need to examine the language and context of the passage. The Mother scolds her children daily, and she expresses her discontent and skepticism towards Father's decision to get a boat. This suggests a negative and hostile relationship between the Mother and her family, making "hostile" the best word to describe their relationship.
8. Examining the language and context of the passage, we can see that the two characters, Rolf Carlé and the speaker, have a supportive relationship. They are together when the station calls, and the speaker prepares coffee for Rolf Carlé. They say goodbye as they have done many times before. Therefore, the word that best describes their relationship is "supportive."
10. In the given passage, the prawn is mentioned as something that has been paying for the young man's education for twenty years. This suggests that it symbolizes a craving for power and knowledge, as the young man's education is being supported by this creature. Therefore, the word that best fits the symbolization of the prawn is "a craving for power and knowledge."
9. The reflection in the mirror is being described in the lines from the poem. This reflection represents self-acceptance and self-love, as one recognizes and greets oneself at their own door and in their own mirror. Therefore, the mirror symbolizes "a sense of comfort" as it represents the recognition of one's true self and finding comfort in that realization.
