1. Read the following paragraph from "From Behind the Veil."
When she reached her room Siham could barely stop herself from
laughing out loud. She picked up her veil and danced with glee, then
stopped in the middle of the room and began to whisper to the veil:
"You black shroud, you know how I despise you and make use of you to
keep him apart from me! I don't care about you and I feel nothing for
you. I defy you. But I love you too. These poor girls take refuge behind
you in order to preserve their , and their honour, and good
morals. If they were more truthful they would say that they love you
because you hide faults and scandals. I love you because you help me
to enjoy my life in a way that only those who wear the veil can
appreciate. I pity those wretched unveiled women. I scorn them.
After reading this paragraph, what can the reader most likely conclude about
how Siham feels about her veil?
(1 point)
She resents the veil because it separates her from the man to whom she is attracted.

virtues.
She dislikes the veil because it represents strict rules and the oppression of women in
her culture.
She appreciates the veil because of its ability to hide the truth of her rebellious nature
from society.
2. Read the following paragraphs from "Behind the Veil."
The street, although wide, was inconveniently full of strollers passing
to and fro. The situation was not helped by the sleek swift cars, which
sped by from time to time. They carried wealthy occupants,
young women and ladies, who, protected from the curiosity of the
outside world, displayed radiant faces. Their shining gaze roved across
the street, smiling or frowning as they took in the sights which pleased
or displeased them.
Among the surging crowd was an amazing mixture of different clothes
and contrasting shapes, which if nothing else, serve to emphasize the
varying tastes of these passers-by.A European who had never been to the East before might be excused
for thinking that its people were in the middle of a great festival. As
time goes by, however, he is moved to say in amazement, 'What
long carnival celebrations you have in this country!' Our Western
friend would think that people wear these amazing clothes for a
festival, just as they would do in his own country.

paragraph?

followed the comparatively static hum of engines, and drivers waited
in exasperation for the next lurch forwards. For the moment there was
a lull, curious on that highway. Then the waiting very quickly began to
fray at the edges. The sun was beating on the metal of the vehicles, and
the road lay flattened across the parched plain, with no trees to screen
it from the sun. First one car horn began to honk, then a bicycle
rickshaw began to clang its bell, then a truck blared its musical horn,
and then the lesser ones began to go pom-pom, pom-pom almost in
harmony, and suddenly, out of the centre of all that noise, a long,
piercing wail emerged.Which words best describe the mood created by these sentences?
