Question

read the passage from lord of the flies by william golding.

jack quested ahead. they went more slowly than ralph had bargained for; yet in a way he was glad to loiter, cradling his spear. jack came up against some emergency of his craft and soon the procession stopped. ralph leaned against a tree and at once the daydreams started swarming up. jack was in charge of the hunt and there would be time to get to the mountain—

once, following his father from chatham to devonport, they had lived in a cottage on the edge of the moors. . .

when you went to bed there was a bowl of cornflakes with sugar and cream. and the books—they stood on the shelf by the bed, leaning together with always two or three laid flat on top because he had not bothered

how are the universal themes \the loss of innocence\ and \the relationship between civilization and nature\ best developed in this passage?

○ golding uses description to explain why ralph is different from jack.
○ golding uses the boys’ actions to show their difficulties with adjusting to life on the island.
○ golding uses conflict to emphasize the different perspectives of ralph and jack.
○ golding uses internal thoughts to highlight how the boys’ lives have changed on the island.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

  • Option 1: The passage doesn't focus on explaining Ralph and Jack's differences through description for theme development.
  • Option 2: The boys' actions here (Jack leading hunt, Ralph daydreaming) don't primarily show adjustment difficulties related to the themes.
  • Option 3: The passage doesn't emphasize conflict between Ralph and Jack's perspectives for these themes.
  • Option 4: Ralph's internal thoughts (daydreams of his past civilized life with cornflakes, books) contrast with his current life on the island, highlighting the loss of innocence (moving from a civilized, innocent life to a more savage one) and the relationship between civilization (past life) and nature (island life). This matches the themes.

Answer:

D. Golding uses internal thoughts to highlight how the boys’ lives have changed on the island.
