2. Not properly arranged
3. The Daffodils
I know only these
Answer :
xix.) a) It is not always easy in company to speak frankly.
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'frankly' as 'in an honest and direct way.'
xx.) b) The photographer’s studio was neatly arranged.
The other options - very bad, not properly arranged and broken, are clearly unsuitable.
xxi.) a) 'The waves behind them danced' is a line from 'The Daffodils.'
The given line has been taken from the following stanza of William Wordsworth's poem 'The Daffodils' :
'The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:'
xxii.) a) Walter de la Mare is famous as a children's poet.
According to Wikipedia, 'Walter John de la Mare OM CH (/ˈdɛləˌmɛər/; 25 April 1873 – 22 June 1956) was a British poet, short story writer and novelist. He is probably best remembered for his works for children, for his poem "The Listeners", and for a highly acclaimed selection of subtle psychological horror stories, amongst them "Seaton's Aunt" and "All Hallows". In 1921, his novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, and his post-war Collected Stories for Children won the 1947 Carnegie Medal for British children's books.'
xxiii.) a) ‘Everyone Sang’ is a war poem.
Siegfried Sassoon’s poem ‘Everyone Sang’ is a war poem that was written after the end of the First World War. It describes the relief and sense of happiness experienced by everyone after the war came to an end.
xxiv.) d) Mr. Murdstone is the stepfather of David.
According to Wikipedia, 'The story follows the life of David Copperfield from childhood to maturity. David was born in Blunderstone, Suffolk, England, six months after the death of his father. David spends his early years in relative happiness with his loving, childish mother and their kindly housekeeper, Clara Peggotty. When he is seven years old his mother marries Edward Murdstone. Partly to get him out of the way and partly because he strongly objects to the whole proceeding, David is sent to lodge with Peggotty's family in Yarmouth.'
xxv.) a) Uriah Heep is the clerk of Mr. Wickfield.
According to Wikipedia, 'David's aunt sends him to a better school than the last he attended. It is run by Dr Strong, whose methods inculcate honour and self-reliance in his pupils. During term, David lodges with the lawyer Mr Wickfield, and his daughter Agnes, who becomes David's friend and confidante. Wickfield has a secretary, the 15-year-old Uriah Heep.'
