His house had become the lair of the iron woodchuck, the hive of the iron bee, the storeroom of the iron squirrel, the complex of chambers of the iron ant. what does this excerpt from “'agua viva,' a sculpture by alfred gonzalez” convey about fredo’s character? select all that apply.

Well it would seem the only one that would logically make sense is
 
B. His deep sense of isolation

But lets go through these anyway

Why It can't be A - no where in the whole passage (that i read a t least) did it say anything about his hope for the future so that is irrelevant rendering it useless to us and we mark it out

Why it can't be C - It can't be C because it doesn't talk about his purpose what-so-ever and it really never mentioned that he was even single minded

Why it can't be D - Even though all these are mentioning animals they are just similes i do believe (comparing something without using like or as) they are just comparing his lair to all of those things not that he is animal-like in any way

Why is it B? - well all the things mentioned if you noticed are really dark isolated places; closed off places like an ants tunnel pr a bee's hive, and it's repetitive use of the word "iron" like its really hard so the fact that this would be talking about isolation makes alot of sense

Brainliest much needed :) Hope this helped

Past is the answer for ur question hope this
