Question

passage poems it was not in the first few moments that i saw all these things, though i saw more of them in the first moments than might be supposed. but i saw that everything within my view which ought to be white, had been white long ago, and had lost its lustre and was faded and yellow. i saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress, and like the flowers, and had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken eyes. i saw that the dress had been put upon the rounded figure of a young woman, and that the figure upon which it now hung loose had shrunk to skin and bone. once, i had been taken to see some ghastly waxwork at the fair, representing i know not what impossible personage lying in state. once, i had been in the passage, refer to the paragraph that begins on page 3 and ends on page 4. what can be understood about pip’s view of miss havisham based on the evidence in this paragraph? pip is frightened by her unusual appearance. pip is sympathetic toward her because she looks so weak. pip understands her sadness because of his past experiences. pip thinks that he might be able to help her overcome her loss.

Explanation:

The passage describes Pip comparing Miss Havisham to a "ghastly waxwork" of a corpse, noting her faded, sunken, and skeletal appearance. This imagery directly shows Pip reacts with fear to her unusual, corpse-like look. The other options lack evidence: there is no mention of Pip feeling sympathy, drawing on his past to understand her sadness, or thinking he can help her.

Answer:

Pip is frightened by her unusual appearance.
