Question

Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." And indeed there will be time To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?” Time to turn back and descend the stair, With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”] My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”] Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. Which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?

Answer 1

His hair is growing think and he is afraid that people are going to notice that and comment on his bald spot in the middle of his hair. These lines obviously show that he cares about what other people think about him and what they have to say about his appearance.

Answer:

C. With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”]
