Set 1: Command of Evidence (Advanced)

Explanation

Answer: C

PASSAGE

In *To the Lighthouse*, Virginia Woolf uses a stream-of-consciousness technique. Instead of linear plot, the narrative shifts fluidly between the inner thoughts of Mrs. Ramsay, Mr. Ramsay, and Lily Briscoe. This structure suggests that reality is not an objective sequence of events, but a subjective mosaic of perceptions.

Which choice best describes the function of Woolf's narrative technique as discussed in the text?

A. To confuse the reader about the timeline of events.
B. To mirror the fragmented and subjective nature of human experience.
C. To strictly separate the viewpoints of men and women.✓ Correct
D. To critique the rigid social structures of the time.

Detailed Explanation

The text says the fluid structure suggests reality is a 'subjective mosaic of perceptions' rather than an 'objective sequence'. This mirrors subjective human experience.

Key Evidence:

• "shifts fluidly between the inner thoughts"

• "subjective mosaic of perceptions"

Why others are wrong: A (Confusion is not the stated goal.), C (It mixes them fluidly, not separates.), D (While true of the book, the *text provided* focuses on perception of reality.).
