Question

princess.
\the princess was a sweet little creature and at the time my story begins was about eight years old, i think, but she got older very fast. her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue. those eyes, you would have thought, must have known they came from there, so often were they turned up in that direction. the ceiling of her nursery was blue with stars in it, as like the sky as they could make it. but i doubt if ever she saw the real sky with the stars in it, for a reason, which i had better mention at once.\
which choice best states the main purpose of the text?
a to criticize the princess, particularly her interest in remaining indoors, while hinting at the reason why she does not wish to venture beyond the castle
b to introduce the setting and describe why the princess must remain indoors despite her fascination with the sky
c to provide context as to why the princess must remain indoors
d to describe the princess, particularly her appearance and her fascination with the sky and stars, while hinting at a mysterious reason she may not have seen the real sky

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

El texto describe la apariencia de la princesa (ojos como cielo nocturno, techo de su habitación con estrellas) y su fascinación por el cielo, al tiempo que insinúa un motivo por el cual quizás no vea el cielo real (la frase "for a reason, which I had better mention at once" y "I doubt if ever she saw the real sky"). La opción D coincide: describe la princesa (apariencia, fascinación con cielo) y sugiere un motivo misterioso por el cual no ve el cielo real. Las otras opciones no encajan: A habla de criticar (no hay crítica), B dice "why the princess must remain indoors" pero el texto no explica por qué debe quedarse, C dice "provide context as to why the princess must remain indoors" y el texto no da ese contexto.

Answer:

D. To describe the princess, particularly her appearance and her fascination with the sky and stars, while hinting at a mysterious reason she may not have seen the real sky
