Explanation:

B.The narrator , who  is a schoolboy, feels the routine and the aimless life of "brown" Dublin. He observes this dull lifestyle in the people from the Street and, also, in his uncle. All of them are attached to their routines. This makes the narrator feel empty.

C- The fact that the street is blind means that the poeple from Dublin are so inmersed in their routines that they cannot  see any other alternative for a better or more meaningful life. The narrator is the one who expresses his need to escape from this dullness. He thinks he has fallen in love with a girl , but then, he thinks this infatuation has just been an illusion.

It is the story of how a boy gets infatuated with a girl, that he wants to buy her a present from the Araby Bazaar. The story is filled with religious and church symbolism. When the narrator says that "North Richmond Street is blind" he is expressing the aimless and dull lifestyle of the community, immersed in religion. He is using the street as a representation of his community and how detached he finds himself from it, as his faith is dying.

The answer is c

The description of the neighborhood, it describes a cold, worn-down, neighborhood, that could symbolize a prison, based on the first sentence that had to do with setting people free. The neighborhood is decribed as stony and "imperturbable" so it could also mean that the school symbolizes freedom and the neighborhood means imprisonment, or capture. Of course, this is only based off f what I have just read, I haven't actually ever read the book.
