In the excerpt below, identify the two settings described and explain how the shift from the first to the second setting influences Thomas's internal conflict.
"In the cramped, soot‑filled alleys of London, Thomas felt the weight of poverty pressing on his shoulders. Later, in the sun‑lit gardens of the French countryside, the same weight seemed to lift, replaced by a sense of possibility."
Answer Options
A.
London's soot‑filled alleys (urban, oppressive) and the sun‑lit French countryside garden (rural, hopeful); the change has little effect on Thomas's internal struggle, as both settings emphasize his unchanging despair.
Correct Answer
B.
London's soot‑filled alleys (urban, oppressive) and the sun‑lit French countryside garden (rural, hopeful); the change from the bleak city to the bright countryside lessens Thomas's internal struggle by replacing the weight of poverty with a sense of possibility.
C.
London's soot‑filled alleys (urban, oppressive) and the sun‑lit French countryside garden (rural, hopeful); the transition reverses Thomas's conflict, making him feel more trapped in the countryside than in the city.
D.
London's soot‑filled alleys (urban, oppressive) and the sun‑lit French countryside garden (rural, hopeful); the shift intensifies Thomas's conflict by juxtaposing poverty with luxury, deepening his sense of loss.

Correct Option:
London's soot‑filled alleys (urban, oppressive) and the sun‑lit French countryside garden (rural, hopeful); the change from the bleak city to the bright countryside lessens Thomas's internal struggle by replacing the weight of poverty with a sense of possibility.
