History
Select the correct text in the passage.
During his boyhood, the main character in John Updike's 'The Brown Chest" believes that the present is more powerful than the past. Which part
of the excerpt supports this statement?
The entire front of the house had this neglected quality, with its guest bedroom where guests hardly ever stayed; it held a gray-painted bed
with silver moons on the headboard and corner posts shaped at the top like mushrooms, and a little desk by the window where his mother
sometimes, but not often, wrote letters and confided sentences to her djary in her tiny backslanting hand. If she had never done this, the room
would have become haunted, even though it looked out on the busy street with its telephone wires and daytime swish of cars but the occasional
scratch of her pen exerted just enough pressure to keep away the frightening shadows, the sad spirits from long ago, locked into events that
couldn't change.
