1.The first question is correct as the answer is B. Dust symbolizes past and reminds Eveline of her home and her environment and symbolizes what is familiar for her. Getting rid of the dust is pattern in her life but no matter how many times she cleans the dust it always returns.
2.The answer is correct, so it is C. The main thing here is that they are not really poor and in a bad financial situations, the problem is that they perceive that they are. Their main problem is basically that they are too greedy and it won't satisfied them no matter how much they earn.
3.This one is also correct as the answer is C. As with the previous question the major theme is greed, the risk of acting greedily and materialism in general. The main problem here is that no matter how much they earned it wouldn't be enough because they constantly spent more than they earned.They tried to live beyond their means, spent much more than they could afford.
4. This is also correct and the answer is A. The train is a clear symbol of the British colonialism and the barriers that exist between the British and the people of their colonies. The train stops ever briefly only for passengers to get off and on, as this symbolizes the inherent lack of understanding. To it everything is incidental for example like poverty of the natives and their villages which is something to be left behind as the train moves for the next outpost.
5. The answer is D. so again the answer is correct. The woman's husband is very proud because he paid such a small price for the item but the only thing his wife feels is shame. Shame that comes from realization that her husband did not pay the original price and how little they paid for it.
6. The answer here is B. so correct once again. The turning point comes as Paul's mother comes home and sees Paul feverishly rides his rocking-horse and announcing the name of the winning horse in the Derby. He then collapses from a seizure which leaves him in a critical state.
7.  This is not a correct answer, the correct one should be A. The ending of both is these stories can be best summarized as bleak as both women are disappointed at their partners. They are depressed about the future as both of them in end are described as detached, emotionless and motionless.
