each :
(a) "I was becoming quite daring, but it was a safe remark.”—- Who is the speaker
Why was the speaker becoming
quite daring? What made the remark safe?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker is the narrator of the story “The Eyes Have It”.

The speaker was becoming quite daring to know about the looks of the girl. The narrator was quite impressed with the girl’s voice which was likened to the sparkling of a mountainous stream. As the narrator was blind his eyes were sensitive only to light and darkness.

What made the remark safe could be analysed in two ways:

Firstly, the remark was safe because few girls could resist from being flattered.

Secondly, the narrator called it a safe remark as he thought that she would not ask further questions that would reveal his blindness.

Hope this explains it well.
