Read the following excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "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!")
Which two themes does this passage most clearly develop?
OA. Do not judge others unless you're willing to be judged; it's better to
be yourself than to pretend to be what you're not.
B. The modern world can be isolating; one must dream big in order to
accomplish one's goals.
C. It is important to consider other people's feelings; the mind can
play tricks on you.
D. The world focuses too much on outward appearances; one
shouldn't try to live up to others' expectations
