Item 4
Read this excerpt from Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, in which Simon first encounters the severed pig's head.

The pile of guts was a black blob of flies that buzzed like a saw. After a while these flies found Simon. Gorged, they alighted by his runnels of sweat and drank. They tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on his thighs. They were black and iridescent green and without number; and in front of Simon, the Lord of the Flies hung on his stick and grinned. At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood—and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition. In Simon’s right temple, a pulse began to beat on the brain.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

A. He references a Greek myth in which two men fly using wings made of wax and feathers.

B. He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil.

C. He references a 1958 film called The Fly in which a man is physically merged with a fly.

D. He references a Greek myth in which a being named Myiagros chases away flies.

He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil. Thus, option B is the correct option.

Simon imagines that the pig's head on the stick is speaking to him as he is having an epileptic seizure. Here, Golding makes it obvious that the pig's head is a representation of the beast, which stands for evil and is also known as the Lord of the Flies, another name for the Devil. During his hallucination, Simon understands that the beast is not something that can be killed because it exists inside humans.

Simon observes the horde of flies encircling the head of the pig that the hunters have mounted on a pole. Simon loves to hide in the clearing where the pig's head is. The Lord of the Flies, an allusion to Beelzebub, is used for the first time to describe the pig's head in this passage.

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Before clocks were made, people kept track of time by other means. In
ancient Egypt, people used a water clock. Water dripped slowly from one
clay pot into another. People measured time according to how long it
took one pot to empty and the other one to fill. Candle clocks were
common during the Middle Ages. As such, when a candle burned, marks
on its side showed about how much time had passed. A final ancient way
to measure time was the sundial, which used the movement of the sun
across the sky. The shadows moving across the face of the sundial
showed the current time. What is the main idea? *
