read the lines below.
the eyes of doctor t. j. eckleburg are blue and gigantic — their irises are one yard high. they look out of no face, but, instead, from a pair of
enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose. evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice in
the borough of queens, and then sank down himself into eternal blindness, or forgot them and moved away. but his eyes, dimmed a little by
many pitiless days, under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.
the details in the lines above suggest dr. t.j. eckleburg is...
o a
wornied
o b
furious
o c
pleased
o d
kindly

Explanation:

The description of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eyes (dimmed, brooding over a solemn dumping ground, etc.) doesn't show worry, fury, or kindness. The context of being left, eyes dimmed, and brooding suggests a sense of being forgotten or passive, but among the options, "worried" doesn't fit. Wait, re - evaluating: the eyes are described as dimmed, brooding over a solemn place, and the oculist sank into blindness or was forgotten. The eyes' state (dimmed, brooding) and the oculist's fate (forgotten, sank into blindness) imply a kind of worried or solemn watch, but the key is to match the options. Wait, the options are worried (a), furious (b), pleased (c), kindly (d). The text says his eyes "brood on over the solemn dumping ground" and are dimmed. Brooding and the neglected state (oculist sank into blindness, eyes dimmed) suggest a worried or solemn presence. So the best fit is a. worried? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the eyes have no face, are from a pair of spectacles, the oculist set them to fatten his practice, then sank into blindness. The eyes are dimmed, brooding over the dumping ground. So the eyes (representing Dr. Eckleburg) seem to be in a worried or solemn state. So the correct option is a. worried.

Answer:

a. worried
