Reаd the fоllоwing pаrаgraph and answer the final twо questions. Which of the underlined sentences are considered close reading analysis? McKay shifts from the external admiration of the dancer to an introspective recognition of her inner emotional state. (A) After describing the ambience of the club and how the dancer is dancing on stage, he turns to dancer. (B) He says, “But looking at her falsely-smiling face, / I knew her self was not in that strange place” (lines 13-14). (C) The “falsely-smiling face” signals a mask of forced happiness or compliance, highlighting the dissonance between her public persona and her true feelings. The smile, a symbol of joy and engagement, is “false,” suggesting that the dancer is not genuinely experiencing pleasure or connection in her performance, but instead is hiding her internal distress or alienation. (D) The phrase “I knew her self was not in that strange place” underscores this disconnect: while the dancer’s body moves in harmony with the crowd’s admiration, her true self—her emotional or psychological state—remains absent from the scene. The “strange place” could refer to the performance setting itself, a world where she is objectified and separated from her authentic identity. (E) McKay thus conveys a profound sense of alienation, suggesting that the dancer, despite being the focus of attention, remains isolated and detached from the superficial praise around her. This couplet reveals how the woman’s true identity is lost or concealed in a world that values her only for her physical presence.
