KEY TO CORRECTION AND EXPLANATION
1. A- Men Without Women (1927) is a collection
of short stories written by American author
Ernest Hemingway. The volume consists of
fourteen stories, ten of which had been
previously published in magazines. The story
subjects include bullfighting, infidelity, divorce
and death. “The Killers”, “Hills Like White
Elephants” and “In Another Country” are
considered to be among Hemingway’s best
work.
2. A- The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World to
That Which Is to Come is a Christian allegory
written by John Bunyan and published in
February, 1678. It is regarded as one of the
most significant works of religious English
literature, has been translated into more than
200 languages, and has never been out of print.
Pilgrim’s Progress is an allegory of a Christian’s
journey (here represented by a character called
‘Christian’) from the “City of Destruction” to the
“Celestial City”. Along the way he visits such
locations as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair,
the Doubting Castle, and the Valley of the
Shadow of Death.
3. C – Don Quixote, fully titled The Ingenious
Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha, is a novel
written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes.
Cervantes created a fictional origin for the story
by inventing a Moorish chronicler for Don
Quixote named Cide Hamete Benengeli.
Published in two volumes a decade apart (in
1605 and 1615), Don Quixote is the most
influential work of literature from the Spanish
Golden Age in the Spanish literary canon.
4. B – ROBINSON CRUSOE was published in
1917, the story was likely influenced by the
real-life Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway
who lived four years on the Pacific island called
“Más a Tierra” (in 1966 its name was changed
to Robinson Crusoe Island), Chile. CAPTAIN
SINGLETON (1720), is a bipartite adventure
story whose first half covers a traversal of
24
Africa, and whose second half taps into the
contemporary fascination with piracy. It has
been commended for its sensitive depiction of
the close relationship between the eponymous
hero and his religious mentor, the Quaker,
William Walters, one which appears homoerotic
to many modern readers. MEMOIRS OF A
CAVALIER (1720) is a work of historical fiction
by Daniel Defoe, set during the Thirty Years’
War and the English Civil Wars. The Fortunes
and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders
(commonly known as simply “MOLL
FLANDERS”) is a novel written by Daniel Defoe
in 1722.
5. D – Vanity fair refers to a stop along the

town called Vanity, which is meant to represent
man’s sinful attachment to worldly things. It
was written by William Makepeace Thackeray
and was first published in 1847.
6. C – Journey to the End of Night (Voyage au
bout de la nuit, 1932) is the first novel of Louis-
Ferdinand Céline. This semi-autobiographica-l
work describes antihero Ferdinand Bardamu.
His surname, Bardamu, is derived from the
French words Barda—the “pack” carried by
World War I soldiers—and mu, the past
participle of the verb mouvoir, meaning to
move. Bardamu is involved with World War I,
colonial Africa, and post-World War I America
(where he works for the Ford Motor Company),
returning in the second half of the work to
France, where he becomes a medical doctor
and establishes a practice in a poor Paris
suburb, the fictional La Garenne-Rancy.
7. A – As I Lay Dying is a novel by the American
author William Faulkner. The novel was written
in six weeks while Faulkner was working at a
power plant, published in 1930, and described
by Faulkner as a “tour-de-force.” It is Faulkner’s
fifth novel and consistently ranked among the
best novels of 20th century literature. The title
derives from Book XI of Homer’s The Odyssey,
wherein Agamemnon speaks to Odysseus: “As I
lay dying, the woman with the dog’s eyes would
not close my eyes as I descended into Hades.”
The novel is known for its stream of
consciousness writing technique, multiple
narrators, and varying chapter lengths; the
shortest chapter in the book consists of just five
words, “My mother is a fish.”

edited the text for publication.

11. A – Mrs. Dalloway (published on 14 May

created from two short stories, “Mrs Dalloway
in Bond Street” and the unfinished “The Prime
Minister”, the novel’s story is of Clarissa’s
preparations for a party of which she is to be

James Joyce, first serialised in parts in the

movement”.
13. C – The Thirty-Nine Steps is an adventure
novel by the Scottish author John Buchan, first
published in 1915 by William Blackwood and

getting himself out of sticky situations.
14. C – The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion is a
1915 novel by English novelist Ford Madox
Ford. It is set just before World War I and
chronicles the tragedies of the lives of two
seemingly perfect couples. The novel is told
25
using a series of flashbacks in non-chronological
order, a literary technique pioneered by Ford. It
also makes use of the device of the unreliable
narrator, as the main character gradually
reveals a version of events that is quite
different from what the introduction leads you
to believe. The novel was loosely based on two
incidents of adultery and on Ford’s messy
personal life.
15. A – The Rainbow is a 1915 novel by British
author D. H. Lawrence or David Herbert

the characters.
16. B – In Search of Lost Time or Remembrance
of Things Past is a semi-autobiographica-l novel
in seven volumes by Marcel Proust. His most
prominent work, it is popularly known for its
extended length and the notion of involuntary
memory, the most famous example being the
“episode of the madeleine”. The novel is still
widely referred to in English as Remembrance
of Things Past, but the title In Search of Lost
Time, a more accurate rendering of the French,
has gained in usage since D.J. Enright’s 1992
revision of the earlier translation by C.K. Scott
Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin. The complete
story contains nearly 1.5 million words and is
one of the longest novels ever written.

morality, and camaraderie.

Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at
generous prices.
20. A – The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of
Secret Service is a 1903 novel by Erskine
Childers. It is a novel that “owes a lot to the
wonderful adventure novels of writers like Rider
Haggard, that were a staple of Victorian
Britain”; perhaps more significantly, it was a spy
novel that “established a formula that included
a mass of verifiable detail, which gave
authenticity to the story.
21. C – Jude the Obscure, the last of Thomas
Hardy’s novels, began as a magazine serial and

the life of Mr. Charles Pooter, a middle aged
city clerk of lower middle-class status but
significant social aspirations, living in the
fictional ‘Brickfield Terrace’ in Upper Holloway
which was then a typical suburb of the
impecuniously respectable kind. Other

son Lupin, his friends Mr Cummings and Mr
Gowing, and Lupin’s unsuitable fiancée, Daisy
Mutlar.

incorrectly as The Portrait of Dorian Gray.
24. B – Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of
the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous
account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating

witty even today.
