Read the excerpt from "shakespeare's sister and answer the question.
next i think that you may object that in all this i have made too much of the importance of material things.
even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind
should rise above such things; and that great poets have often been poor men. let me then quote to you
the words of your own professor of literature, who knows better than i do what goes to the making of a
poet. sir arthur quiller-coach writes: "the poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred
years, a dog's poor child in england has little more hope than had the son of an athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." that is it. intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.
select all that apply.
in this excerpt, woolf supports her argument by and
anticipating an objection her audience might have
developing the idea of "a lock on the door into an extended metaphor
exposing a romantic view of poverty as "great poets have often been poor"

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
