The question lacks the choices of statements.
You can cancel out pleased and hurt as they are wrong answers.
<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of
consciousness technique.
This excerpt is an
example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an
experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though
process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the
thoughts of Septimus).
<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense
anxiety and fear.
From a description of
the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier,
Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a
sense of his intense anxiety and fear.
<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things
fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
The description of
the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming”
by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot
hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from
bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not
being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the
pavement, for a purpose?”
I think it means to have hard boat shells meaning hard sides as in something that is hard and wont brake and will last in strong storms for a period of time.
