Read these lines: "These thoughts supported my spirits, while I pursued my undertaking with unremitting ardour. My cheek had grown pale with study, and my person had become emaciated with confinement. Sometimes, on the very brink of certainty, I failed; yet still I clung to the hope which the next day or the next hour might realise." What do the quoted lines suggest about him?

1. 1. His spirits are said to be supported and his ardour unremitting, so his will is not failing. 2. 2. His body is described separately: a pale cheek from study and a wasted frame from confinement. 3. 3. Those two facts together show the work costing him physically while he keeps going. 4. 4. He is still pursuing the undertaking, so option B is wrong. 5. 5. He clings to hope after each failure, so option C is wrong. 6. 6. The confinement is his own choice in pursuit of the work, so option D adds an outside force. _Source: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (1818)_
