Question

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

"And such a luxury to him was this petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight intrude upon it; it was too sacred for such contact; and so, presently, when his cousin Mary danced in, all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other."

These lines from the excerpt explicitly or directly state that Tom

A. is happy his cousin has returned
B. thinks his aunt likes his cousin more
C. feels upset that his cousin is happy
D. wants to continue feeling sorry for himself

Answer 2

I would say A. None of the others really make sense o.o. what do you guys think?

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

I think it's C?

Answer 5

"And such a luxury to him was this petting of his sorrows" means that he wants to keep feeling sorry for himself

Answer 6

"he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other" means he left when his cousin walked in, because he wants to wallow in self pity

Answer 7

What about the last part? o.o

Answer 8

I think it's C because "when his cousin Mary danced in, all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other."

Answer 9

I misread that :/. My bad...

Answer 10

So D is the best choice?

Answer 11

C is an "okay" answer but D better represents his inner feelings

"he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight intrude upon it" means he is so wrapped up in his own sadness he does not want any positivity "intruding onto him"

he was already upset BEFORE his cousin walked in
