Which sentence in this excerpt shows that Tom Canty is not satisfied with being a mock (pretend) prince?
By-and-by Tom's reading and dreaming about princely life wrought such a strong effect upon him that he began to act the prince, unconsciously. His speech and manners became curiously ceremonious and courtly, to the vast admiration and amusement of his intimates. A) But Tom's influence among these young people began to grow now, day by day; and in time he came to be looked up to, by them, with a sort of wondering awe, as a superior being. He seemed to know so much! and he could do and say such marvellous things! and withal, he was so deep and wise! Tom's remarks, and Tom's performances, were reported by the boys to their elders; and these, also, presently began to discuss Tom Canty, and to regard him as a most gifted and extraordinary creature. Full-grown people brought their perplexities to Tom for solution, and were often astonished at the wit and wisdom of his decisions. B) In fact he was become a hero to all who knew him except his own family—these, only, saw nothing in him.
Privately, after a while, Tom organised a royal court! He was the prince; his special comrades were guards, chamberlains, equerries, lords and ladies in waiting, and the royal family. Daily the mock prince was received with elaborate ceremonials borrowed by Tom from his romantic readings; daily the great affairs of the mimic kingdom were discussed in the royal council, and daily his mimic highness issued decrees to his imaginary armies, navies, and viceroyalties.
After which, he would go forth in his rags and beg a few farthings, eat his poor crust, take his customary cuffs and abuse, and then stretch himself upon his handful of foul straw, and resume his empty grandeurs in his dreams.
C) And still his desire to look just once upon a real prince, in the flesh, grew upon him, day by day, and week by week, until at last it absorbed all other desires, and became the one passion of his life.
One January day, on his usual begging tour, he tramped despondently up and down the region roundabout Mincing Lane and Little East Cheap, hour after hour, bare-footed and cold, looking in at cook-shop windows and longing for the dreadful pork-pies and other deadly inventions displayed therefore to him these were dainties fit for the angels; that is, judging by the smell, they were—for it had never been his good luck to own and eat one. There was a cold drizzle of rain; the atmosphere was murky; it was a melancholy day. At night Tom reached home so wet and tired and hungry that it was not possible for his father and grandmother to observe his forlorn condition and not be moved—after their fashion; wherefore they gave him a brisk cuffing at once and sent him to bed. D) For a long time his pain and hunger, and the swearing and fighting going on in the building, kept him awake; but at last his thoughts drifted away to far, romantic lands, and he fell asleep in the company of jewelled and gilded princelings who live in vast palaces, and had servants salaaming before them or flying to execute their orders. And then, as usual, he dreamed that he was a princeling himself.

Answer: I believe the answer is D.

Explanation: I already took the test and I believe I got it right. Not only that, but the sentence(s) talk about his thoughts of being a mock, or fake prince. It talks about him not wanting to handle the pressure of being a mock anymore because he had very little meals, and his feelings were being neglected (kind of) . Also, it talked about him dreaming of the pressure of an actual prince, all the ordering, being looked up to, etc. He didn't want to handle that pressure. Also, the last sentence of the passage explains that he ALSO WANTS TO BE A PRINCELING, meaning it was originally explaining that he had too much pressure to bare and no longer wants to be a mock. If D is incorrect, then it's definitely C.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) And still his desire to look just once upon a real prince, in the flesh, grew upon him, day by day, and week by week, until at last it absorbed all other desires, and became the one passion of his life.

Explanation:

I took the test and got it right.

Read the following discussion.

MARIA:
In Julius Caesar, there's really no way that events could have turned out well for Rome. If Brutus and Cassius hadn't assassinated Caesar, Caesar would have ruled as a tyrant.

EDGAR:
And since they assassinated Caesar, there was a horrible civil war.

RIKU:
It isn't clear that Caesar would have been a tyrant. If you remember, Mark Antony offered Caesar a crown three times, but he refused it all three times.

VICTOR:
True, but it seems pretty clear that that was just for show: something to make Caesar look humble in front of the crowds.

RIKU:
So in a way, Caesar's humble behavior is evidence that he actually wanted to be emperor of Rome. I see what you mean.
