Which three phrases in this excerpt from James Joyce’s “Araby” appeal to the senses of hearing and smell?
When the short days of winter came dusk fell before we had well eaten our dinners. When we met in the street the houses had grown sombre. The space of sky above us was the colour of ever-changing violet and towards it, the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns. The cold air stung us and we played till our bodies glowed. Our shouts echoed in the silent streets. The career of our play brought us through the dark muddy lanes behind the houses where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from the cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens where odours arose from the ashpits to the dark odorous stables where a coachman smoothed and combed the horse or shook music from the buckled harness.

Read the passage.
from Winesburg, Ohio
All through his boyhood and young manhood George Willard had been in the habit of walking on Trunion Pike. He had been in the midst of
the great open place on winter nights when it was covered with snow and only the moon looked down at him; he had been there in the fall when
bleak winds blew and on summer evenings when the air vibrated with the song of insects. On the April morning he wanted to go there again, to
walk again in the silence. He did walk to where the road dipped down by a little stream two miles from town and then turned and walked silently
back again. When he got to Main Street clerks were sweeping the sidewalks before the stores. "Hey, you George. How does it feel to be going
away?" they asked
The west bound train leaves Winesburg at seven forty-five in the morning. Tom Little is conductor. His train runs from Cleveland to where it
connects with a great trunk line railroad with terminals in Chicago and New York. Tom has what in railroad circles is called an "easy run." Every
evening he returned to his family. In the fall and spring he spends his Sundays fishing in Lake Erie. He has a round red face and small blue eyes. He
knows the people in the towns along his railroad better than a city man knows the people who live in his apartment building.
(from Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson)

O 1. bravery and fear
O 2. foolishness and wisdom
O 3. freedom and confinement
