Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence contains a phrase that best expresses a connotative meaning for the word hope?
Araby
by James Joyce (excerpt)
Or if Mangan's sister came out on the doorstep to call her brother into his tea, we watched her from our shadow peer up and down the
street. We waited to see whether she would remain or go in and, if she remained, we left our shadow and walked up to Mangan's steps
resignedly. She was waiting for us, her figure defined by the light from the half-opened door. Her brother always teased her before he obeyed,
and I stood by the railings looking at her. Her dress swung as she moved her body, and the soft rope of her hair tossed from side to side.

It's not the second one. I think it may be the third one.

Explanation:

The light could symbolize something good, which they are leaving the shadows for. The shadows could be seen as something bad. This shows that they are choosing hope.

umm there is no difference
