Question

Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
Smoothed by long fingers,
Asleep . . . tired . . . or it malingers,
Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet— and here’s no great matter;

Which words best indicate that Prufrock feels anxious?
head, platter, prophet
peacefully, smoothed, strength
wept, fasted, prayed
tea, cakes, ices

Answer 1

The words that best indicates that Prufrock feels anxious is "wept, fasted, prayed".

• This paragraph is from T.S. Elliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," so it depicts the fading love life of Prufrock's middle-aged lover. He is afraid to follow his heart and overthinks everything.
• The words used by an author serve to portray or trigger specific feelings or emotions. The creator of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" picks terms that reflect Prufrock's worry.
• The terms "wept," "fasted," and "prayed" indicate that Prufrock is concerned about his life, particularly his love life. He is concerned because he finds it difficult to talk to women, interact with them, or locate a life partner.
• Religious people will cry, fast, and pray when they are pleading for something, trying to make things better, or regretting past deeds.

Thus the correct option is D.
