5) Which of the following (a-d) is correct:
c) Dickens intrudes even upon his own
authorial commentary in the
opening sentence of The Chimes with a facetious remark on the
special relationship between writers and readers:
There are not many people—and as it is desirable that a story-
teller and a story-reader should establish a mutual understanding
as soon as possible, I beg it to be noticed that I confine this
observation neither to young people nor to little people, but
extend it to all conditions of people: little and big, young and
old: yet growing up, or already growing down again—there are not,
I say, many people who would care to sleep in a church. (81)
Far from striving to keep the author behind the scenes in the illusion
that novels describe actual persons and events as modern writers do,
Dickens seems instead to impose his authorial presence. . . .
Note that the double spacing
is uniform throughout (unlike in options a and d), and that the quote is indented from the left margin
only (unlike option b).
