    His need for a better diet
    The death of his physical desires and vanity
    That he has become a literal ghost
  • How does the lawyer’s view of "earthly life" change in The Bet?
    He sees it as a vile, fleeting illusion
    He believes it should be spent making money
    He thinks it is the most valuable thing
    He thinks it is too short to spend reading
  • In The Guest, the "Rivers of France" on the blackboard symbolize:
    The only source of water on the plateau
    Daru's deep love for French geography
    A secret escape route for the prisoner
    The colonization of Algeria
  • The lawyer's letter in The Bet is an act of:
    Telling the banker where he is going to hide
    Expressing his love for the banker's daughter
    Asking the banker for a loan of money
    Renouncing the material world and its rewards
  • In The Guest, what does the landscape's "solitude" mirror?
    Daru's moral isolation and difficult choices
    The lack of students in the classroom
    The distance between the village and the city
    The silence of the prisoner during the walk
  • Why are the "rivers" mentioned both on the board and in the lesson?
    To highlight the irony of "flowing" education in a dry land
    To teach the students how to swim
    To show that Daru is an expert at drawing
    To explain where the snow comes from
  • In Araby, what does the boy’s "chalice" metaphor represent?
    The religious devotion he has for his priest
    His desire to move to a different country
    His romanticized, sacred view of his infatuation
    A literal cup he wants to buy at the market
  • Which word best describes the tone at the end of all three stories?
    Celebration
    Indifference
    Disillusionment
    Confusion
  • Why is the message "You handed over our brother" an example of dramatic irony?
    The reader knows Daru gave the Arab a choice
    The men intended to thank Daru for his help
    The Arab is not actually a brother so once they are wrong
    Daru was the one who wrote the message so it isn't his fault
  • What theme is shared by the Lawyer, Daru, and the Boy?
    The arrival of a painful, life-changing epiphany
    The joy of childhood innocence
    The pursuit of great financial wealth
    The importance of following government laws
  • What does the dark, empty Bazaar symbolize at the end of Araby?

    The cold reality that destroys the boy's illusions
    The boy's success in finding a gift
    The beginning of a new, exciting adventure
  • The lawyer in The Bet says he "despises freedom and life." This is because:
    He had grown too old to enjoy anything
    He was angry at the banker for the bet
    His intellectual journey made him transcend human needs
    He preferred the small room to the outside world
  • What is the boy's epiphany at the end of Araby?
    That he needs to save more money for gifts
    That Mangan's sister does not like him
    That he is a creature driven and derided by vanity
    That the bazaar is the best place in Dublin
  • Why is the lawyer leaving the cell 5 minutes early considered situational irony?
    He wants to surprise the banker with a hug
    He wins the argument but chooses to lose the prize money
    He accidentally forgot what time it was
    He decided he actually wanted to stay longer
  • In Araby, the "clinking of coins" at the bazaar highlights:
    The boy’s excitement to spend his money
    The wealth of the city of Dublin
    The commercial, mundane reality of the world
    The generosity of the English stall-holders
  • What "choice" does Daru give the prisoner in The Guest?

    To walk toward the prison or toward freedom
    To stay at the school or go to the village
    To eat the food or go hungry
  • What does the ending of The Guest suggest about neutrality?
    Being neutral is the safest way to live
    Neutrality is always rewarded by both sides
    It is the best way to make new friends
    It is impossible to remain neutral in a conflict
  • Why does the lawyer in The Bet eventually despise the books he read?
    They gave him a wisdom that made life seem meaningless
    He realized they were all full of lies
    They were written in languages he didn't like
    They were too heavy to carry out of the garden
  • What is the "compressed lump" the lawyer refers to in his letter?
    A small piece of coal from his fireplace
    The physical weight of the books he read
    The heavy essence of human wisdom and history
    A hidden stash of gold he found
  • How does Camus use personification to describe the Algerian plateau?
    As a bustling, joyful community of rocks
    As a shy person who hides from the sun
