(04.07 MC) Reаd the excerpt frоm Wuthering Heights. 'Yоu аre аn impertinent little mоnkey!' exclaimed Mrs. Linton, in surprise. 'But I'll not believe this idiocy! It is impossible that you can covet the admiration of Heathcliff—that you consider him an agreeable person! I hope I have misunderstood you, Isabella?' 'No, you have not,' said the infatuated girl. 'I love him more than ever you loved Edgar, and he might love me, if you would let him!' 'I wouldn't be you for a kingdom, then!' Catherine declared, emphatically: and she seemed to speak sincerely. 'Nelly, help me to convince her of her madness. Tell her what Heathcliff is: an unreclaimed creature, without refinement, without cultivation; an arid wilderness of furze and whinstone. I'd as soon put that little canary into the park on a winter's day, as recommend you to bestow your heart on him! It is deplorable ignorance of his character, child, and nothing else, which makes that dream enter your head. Pray, don't imagine that he conceals depths of benevolence and affection beneath a stern exterior! He's not a rough diamond—a pearl-containing oyster of a rustic: he's a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man...' The metaphor ("arid wilderness") Catherine uses to describe Heathcliff reveals her belief that Heathcliff is
(02.06 MC) Reаd the fоllоwing pаssаge, which is the first chapter оf a novel by Charles Dickens, before you choose your answer. THE ONE THING NEEDFUL1 (1) "No, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. (2) Facts alone are wanted in life. (3) Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. (4) You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Fact; nothing else will ever be of any service to them. (5) This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to the Facts, sir!" (6) The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a schoolroom, and the speaker's square forefinger emphasized his observations by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster's sleeve. (7) The emphasis was helped by the speaker's square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base, while his eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by the wall. (8) The emphasis was helped by the speaker's mouth, which was wide, thin, and hard set. (9) The emphasis was helped by the speaker's voice, which was inflexible, dry, and dictatorial. (10) The emphasis was helped by the speaker's hair, which bristled on the skirts of his bald head, a plantation of firs to keep the wind from its shining surface, all covered with knobs, like the crust of a plum pie, as if the head had scarcely warehouse-room for the hard facts stored inside. (11) The speaker's obstinate carriage, square coat, square legs, square shoulders—nay, his very neckcloth, trained to take him by the throat with an unaccommodating grasp, like a stubborn fact, as it was—all helped with emphasis. (12) "In this life, we want nothing but Facts, sir, nothing but Facts!" (13) The speaker, and the schoolmaster, and the third grown person present, all backed a little, and swept with their eyes the inclined plane of little vessels then and there arranged in order, ready to have imperial gallons of facts poured into them until they were full to the brim. 1 A reference to the scripture verses Luke 10:38-42: "As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!' 'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one is needful. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.'" What is the purpose of using an allusion to the story of Mary and Martha as the title of a novel's first chapter?
