Explanation:

Question (about Clarissa Dalloway's feeling on Big Ben)

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the text from Mrs. Dalloway. Clarissa's reaction to Big Ben's clock: she has a solemn anticipation before it strikes (the other options: sadness about time passage, annoyance, or heart condition worsening are not accurate to her feelings toward Big Ben's ringing).

We evaluate each option against the novel's portrayal. Clarissa is shown to embrace London's energy—its people, movement, noise, etc. The "snob" option is incorrect, she doesn't find it too noisy/crowded, and pitying the poor isn't the main feeling about London overall.

Answer:

A. She feels a sense of solemn anticipation before it strikes the hour.
