Read the following excerpt from "the pedestrian' by ray bradbury:
and on his way he would see the cottages and homes with
their dark windows, and it was not unequal to walking
through a graveyard where only the faintest glimmers of
firefly light appeared in flickers behind the windows.
sudden gray phantoms seemed to manifest upon inner
room walls where a curtain was still undrawn against the
night, or there were whisperings and murmurs where a
window in a tomb-like building was still open.
which statement best explains how the setting affects the meaning of the
story?
o
a. the firefly light conveys a feeling of nostalgia for long summer
evenings spent with family
o
b. the phrase "whispting and murmurs' suggests that the main
character has fits ovladness.
o
c. the water and wave motif conveys the queasy feeling the narrator
has when walking alone at night.
o
d. the comparison of the street to a graveyard suggests that
something is terribly wrong with society.

Ответ:
D. The comparison of the street to a graveyard suggests that something is terribly wrong with society is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The Pedestrian was written by American author Ray Bradbury. It is a science fiction short story that narrates how Leonard Mead deals with a television-centered society in 2053. In the story, the sidewalks have fallen into decay and this can be seen at different times through the story. The state of society is indicated by other flags, for example, Mead has never seen other person in ten years, so letter D is correct.
