Read the excerpt from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen."My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, "how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”"Is that his design in settling here?”"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.”"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.”

Read the excerpt from "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.”It might be contended, of course, that the attitude to the African in Heart of Darkness is not Conrad's but that of his fictional narrator, Marlow, and that far from endorsing it Conrad might indeed be holding it up to irony and criticism. Certainly, Conrad appears to go to considerable pains to set up layers of insulation between himself and the moral universe of his history. He has, for example, a narrator behind a narrator. The primary narrator is Marlow, but his account is given to us through the filter of a second, shadowy person. But if Conrad's intention is to draw a cordon sanitaire between himself and the moral and psychological malaise of his narrator, his care seems to me totally wasted because he neglects to hint, clearly and adequately, at an alternative frame of reference by which we may judge the actions and opinions of his characters. It would not have been beyond Conrad's power to make that provision if he had thought it necessary. Conrad seems to me to approve of Marlow, with only minor reservations—a fact reinforced by the similarities between their two careers.

A
to explain that Conrad’s inclusion of multiple narrators confuses readers and leads them to misinterpret the text
B
to explain that Conrad provides an alternative frame of reference of the narrator’s perception, actions and beliefs
C
to explain that, even though Conrad is trying to separate himself from his characters’ morals, he most likely approves of them
D
to explain that Conrad disapproves of Marlow’s actions and beliefs, and hopes to show the dangers of Marlow’s way of thinking
