Question

Leon stared at the new moccasins that Teofilo had made for the ceremonial dances in the summer. They were nearly hidden by the red blanket. It was getting colder, and the wind pushed gray dust down the narrow pueblo road.Which of the following items acts as a symbol in this excerpt?A. the moccasinsB. the red blanketC. the windD. the road

Answer 1

Answer:

B. the red blanket

Explanation:

Symbol is always something that represents something else. In literature a symbol is something that has a greater meaning than its mere literal significance in a story or a poem. This symbolic meaning may be author-specific or more widespread, ranging from cultural importance to universal association. In the excerpt shown in the question, the symbol is represented by "the red blanket," which represents something more than a simple blanket and has a larger representation within the work.
