Question
read this sentence from the paragraph on page 3 of passage 2.
\it is to be hoped they will die quickly of hunger\
how does this quote help develop his overall theme?
by starting with the phrase \it is to be hoped\ there draws attention to human procrastination
a
by stating the point of view of the antagonist, moore presents the complexity of the issue
by using the word \quickly\ moore predicts that with good conditions they though weakened
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: "By starting with the phrase 'It is to be hoped' which draws attention to future possibilities" – The phrase "It is to be hoped" expresses a desire for the future (that Henry will lose hunger's quality), so it connects to future possibilities Henry’s character might have (like overcoming hunger - related issues, developing positively).
- Option 2: "By stating the point of view of the author, Moore, to stress the complexity of the issue" – The sentence is about Henry’s future, not the author stressing issue complexity.
- Option 3: "By using the word 'quality' to show problems that rich and ambitious Henry might encounter" – The word "quality" here refers to a trait of hunger, not problems Henry (rich/ambitious) would face.
The phrase "It is to be hoped" implies a future - oriented wish (Henry losing hunger's quality). This connects to possible future developments in Henry's character (like growth or change related to hunger). Other options misinterpret the sentence's purpose: Option 2 misfocuses on the author's view and complexity, Option 3 misinterprets "quality"’s relation to Henry’s problems.
