MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
The space between the idea of something and its reality is always wide and deep and dark. The longer they are kept apart—idea of thing, reality of thing—the wider the width, the deeper the depth, the thicker and darker the darkness. This space starts out empty, there is nothing in it, but it rapidly becomes filled up with obsession or desire or hatred or love—sometimes all of these things, sometimes some of these things, sometimes only one of these things.
–Jamaica Kincaid, On Seeing English for the First Time
Overall the parallel structures in this passage serve to…
emphasize that when our ideas about things become separated from the reality of things, our emotions take over and the contrast between an idea and its reality becomes exaggerated.
show that without our emotions, our intellectual understanding of the world becomes warped and disconnected from reality.
demonstrate that without ideas reality becomes a confusing mess of emotions that are difficult to understand.
explain that ideas and their reality rarely match up.
contrast ideas and reality.
