But nothing lasts long in this world. Even joy grows less
lively the next moment. And a moment later, again, it
weakens further. And at last it reemerges insensibly with
the normal mood, even as the ripple from a pebble's
impact becomes reemerged with the smooth surface of
the water at large.
Which theme is best supported by this passage?
OA. People are generally satisfied with their lives.
OB. People do not remain satisfied with what they have.
C. People can spread joy to others like ripples across a pond.
D. People become weakened when they lose their joy.

People are never satisfied with their lives. Nothing in our world is permanent, and even happiness fades over time, as was stated in the passage.

What does the nose represent in "The Nose" by Gogol?

This character is a body part that the narrative personifies. It appears to have attained a higher status in the civil service than Kovalyov, based on how it is dressed.

In our life, enjoyment only lasts a minute, according to the scriptures. It gives us the ability to be content with what we have for the short amount of time we have before it unexpectedly disappears, much like the huge impact of a ripple.

As a result, option (b) people do not remain satisfied with what they have is correct.
