Read this excerpt from Chapter IV of Alice in Wonderland. She uncorked it and put it to her lips, saying to herself, "I do hope it'll make me grow large again, for, really, I'm quite tired of being such a tiny little thing!"

Before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head pressing against the ceiling.

What does the bottle symbolize in this passage?

Alice's loneliness in the new world
Alice's fear that the rabbit will find her
Alice's rush to grow up and mature
Alice's confusion about the gloves
