1. After reading the following paragraph, what can the reader conclude about how Siham feels about her veil?

The paragraph is from the short story "Behind the Veil".

a) She resents the veil because it separates her from the man whom she is attracted.
b) She is indifferent towards the veil because it does not really help her retain her virtues.
c) She dislikes the veil because it represents strict rules and the oppression in her culture.
d) She appreciates the veil because of its ability to hide the truth of her rebellious nature from society.

According to Siham, she appreciates the veil and thinks that so do other girls (if they are just honest) because it covers their sinful acts, their “faults and scandals.” Under the veil, she is free to enjoy her life apart from judging eyes. The veil keeps her true self and feelings from being known. Thus, she looks at the unveiled women with pity and disrespect.
