Question

Answer the question about the story “On the Gulls' Road.” What do the narrator and Mrs. Ebbling often look at together? A. the crew of the ship B. the seagulls flying overhead C. the shoreline they're passing D. the other passengers on the ship

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

In the story "On the Gull's Road", the narrator meets Mrs. Ebbling in a boat bound for Italy.

The narrator is immediately cautivated by Mrs. Ebbling's beauty. But Mrs. Ebbling appears to have no interest in anything or anyone, except for the sea. Mr. Ebbling "seemed always to have been swept along by ocean streams".

Slowly, the narrator gets closer to Mrs. Ebbling. And along the journey, they become friends, and then fall in love with each other while they admire the shoreline they are passing.
