Read the following excerpt from Heart of Darkness:
I've seen the devil of violence, and the devil of greed, and
the devil of hot desire; but, by all the stars! these were
strong, lusty, red-eyed devils, that swayed and drove men-
men, I tell you. But as I stood on this hillside, I foresaw that
in the blinding sunshine of that land I would become
acquainted with a flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a
rapacious and pitiless folly.
Why did Conrad most likely include this passage in the story?
O A. To convey the sense of overwhelming human evil in a world where
devils outnumber stars
O B. To show that devils, like human beings, gain weight if they don't
work out regularly
A
C. To express the idea that foolish ineffectiveness is the central
problem of colonialism
O D. To show that pretending to be a devil is foolish, and that it is better
to try to be good
The sentence seeks to convey the idea that colonialism's core problem is foolish ineffectiveness. So, option (C) is the correct answer as per the heart of darkness.
What was the heart of darkness about?Heart of Darkness investigates the atrocities of Western colonialism, portraying it as a phenomenon that tarnishes not only the nations and peoples it abuses but also those who push it in the West.
The novel Heart of Darkness by Conrad is unfairly political, depicting how colonialism ruins the hearts and souls of all people.

Why do you think that Tara Westover chose the VirginiaWoolf epigraph at the beginning of her story?
Answer:
Virginia Woolf was an English author born in 1882. She was one of the first writers to use the narrative technique known as stream of consciousness. Woolf is quoted often in today's world. One of her quotes is the one mentioned above:
"... the past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only the past."
Many authors, such as Tara Westover, use this quote in their own work. It is likely that Woolf was attempting to express the concept that "hindsight is 20/20" or something similar to this. This means that the past can only be appreciated because with the past comes memories that hold emotions.
Tara Westover chose to use an epigraph by Virginia Woolf because the epigraph was able to express a very important point in the book and in the message that Tara Westover wished to convey to the reader.
Although you haven't shown it, the above question refers to “Educated” by Tara Westover, a book in which she writes her memoirs and uses an epigraph by Virginia Woolf, to reinforce the importance of remembering the past and recognizing its impact on the present.
By reading this book, we can see that:
Westover tells how she lived a difficult childhood, surrounded by violence and sorrow.She only realized this negative impact of her life, when the moments she lived became the past.In the present, she is able to better analyze her difficult childhood and see what caused so many problems.Virginia Woolf's epigraph shows how the present goes unnoticed by people, who can only analyze it when it becomes the past.With that, we can conclude that the epigraph of Virginia Woolf is directly related to the message that Westover wants to pass on to the readers and for that reason, this epigraph was used.
