From Tess of the d'Urbervilles
They crept along towards a point in the expanse of shade just at hand at which a feeble light was beginning to assert its presence, a spot
where, by day, a fitful white streak of steam at intervals upon the dark green background denoted intermittent moments of contact between their
secluded world and modern life. Modern life stretched out its steam feeler to this point three or four times a day, touched the native existences,
and quickly withdrew its feeler again, as if what it touched had been uncongenial
They reached the feeble light, which came from the smoky lamp of a little railway station; a poor enough terrestrial star, yet in one sense
The author's belief that the modernization of farming practices leads to rootlessness and a sense of isolation is shown in the passage.
Which quote from the passage best supports this viewpoint?
1. "They reached the feeble light, which came from the smoky lamp of a little railway station
O 2. "Then there was the hissing of a train, which drew up almost silently upon the wet rails, and the milk was rapidly swung can by can
Into the truck."
O 3: "Londoners will drink it at their breakfasts to morrow, won't they?" shebked, 'Strange people that we have never see."
04. "Yes --- suppose they will. Though not as we send it. When its strength has been lowered, so that it may not get up into their heads."
