Question

viviene daley end of semester exam dec : 2025

1. which lines from the text most strongly support the answer to question 17?

a. \there was a bookstore uptown on gay street / which i visited and inhaled that
wonderful odor / of new books.\
b. \at a time when there was not tv before 3:00 p.m. / and on sunday none until
5:00\
c. \where i would sit on the front porch / in a gray glider and dream of a world /
far away\
d. \and mrs. long opened that wardrobe / but no lions or witches scared me / i
went through / knowing there would be / spring\

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Question 17 (likely about a theme like imagination, escape, or connection to literature). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Focuses on a bookstore and new book odor—more about a physical place/experience, not strong support for a theme like imagination/dreams.
• Option B: Talks about TV schedules—irrelevant to most literary themes tied to Question 17.
• Option C: Describes sitting on a porch, dreaming of a far - away world—directly relates to dreaming/imagining, which is a common theme in such questions.
• Option D: Uses a wardrobe (Narnia - like) but the “spring” and lack of fear is less direct than C for a dream - based theme.

Answer:

C. "Where I would sit on the front porch / In a gray glider and dream of a world / Far away"
