Gudrun and Ursula were co-mates. The second child, with her long, sleepy body and her endless chain of fancies, would have nothing to do with realities. She was not for them, she was for her own fancies. Ursula was the one for realities. So Gudrun left all such to her elder sister, and trusted in her implicitly, indifferently. Ursula had a great tenderness for her co-mate sister. It was no good trying to make Gudrun responsible. She floated along like a fish in the sea, perfect within the medium of her own difference and being. Other existence did not trouble her. Only she believed in Ursula, and trusted to Ursula. From this passage, what can be understood to be implicitly stated? A) Gudrun and Ursula don't see eye to eye. B) Gudrun is likable, while Ursula is unlikable. C) Gudrun is a daydreamer; Ursula is practical. D) Gudrun and Ursula don't understand one another. Eliminate Submit

    I believe the best answer to be letter C) Gudrun is a daydreamer; Ursula is practical.

    Explanation:

    Ursula and Gudrun are characters in two novels by D. H. Lawrence. The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the first of the novels, "The Rainbow". From the description given, we can easily tell that Ursula has a more practical nature than her sister. She is "the one for realities", the one who sees things as they are and deals with them. Gudrun, on the other hand, cannot be bothered with realities. She is a daydreamer, and the imaginary life in her own mind is much more fun than the real one. We can also tell that the two sisters love each other and complement each other's personalities. In the novel "The Rainbow", Ursula seeks a way out of her mother's domination. She becomes a schoolteacher while her sister eventually grows up to become an artist.
