Q.1.
"My home, then — when I at last find a home, — is a cottage: a little room with white-washed walls, and a sanded floor; containing four painted chairs and a table, a clock, a cupboard, with two or three plates and dishes, and a set of tea-things in delf.

This depiction of the midnight scene on the moors relies on what type of imagery?
Q.7.
Which of the following is a quality shared by each of the separate settings in the novel?
Q.8.
"About ten minutes after, the driver got down and opened a pair of gates: we passed through, and they clashed to behind us.
