Consider the following passage:
"The city streets glistened like a river of molten gold, while the abandoned factory stood as a skeletal bone under a grey sky."
Explain how the juxtaposition of these two images contributes to the overall theme of hope versus decay.
Answer Options
A.
The bright, gold‑like streets symbolize nostalgia for the past, whereas the skeletal, grey factory symbolizes future technology; their side‑by‑side placement creates a tension between memory and progress, thereby underscoring the theme of past versus future.
B.
The bright, gold‑like streets symbolize wealth and excess, whereas the skeletal, grey factory symbolizes industry; placing them side by side highlights the tension between prosperity and labor, thereby underscoring the theme of wealth versus industry.
C.
The bright, gold‑like streets symbolize danger and heat, whereas the skeletal, grey factory symbolizes safety and cold; juxtaposing them forces the reader to notice the contrast between peril and protection, thereby underscoring the theme of danger versus safety.
Correct Answer

The bright, gold‑like streets symbolize hope and vitality, whereas the skeletal, grey factory symbolizes decay; placing them side by side forces the reader to see the tension between progress and neglect, thereby underscoring the theme of hope versus decay.
