An author’s philosophical assumptions about society are often evident in events and characters. which of the following quotes from jane eyre suggests that charlotte brontë feels that schools like lowood are in need of reform? :

i felt ready to perish with cold.
a)before the long hour and a half of prayers and bible reading was over . .
b)breakfast time came at last.
c)miss scatcherd continued to make her an object of constant notice.

The correct answer is letter A: "before the long hours and a half of the prayers and Bible reading was over"

In the sentence, the writer makes use of several resources which make evident her dissatisfaction with the school practices. Firstly, the writerwas ready to die in the cold before what felt to her as "long hours" passed. Then, thinking of the whole of prayers, she would not want to listen to "half of them".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
