Select the correct text in the passage.
At the beginning of Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon, Robert is portrayed as a dreamer. Which sentence in this excerpt from the play reflects his dream of leaving the farm?

This sentence said by Robert to his brother Andrew in the beginning of Eugene O’Neill’s play Beyond the Horizon” reflects Robert’s dream of leaving the farm. Before this sentence Andrew says to Robert that he should have gone back to college for completing his studies. But Robert tells him that he left college because their father wanted to save money, and further even if their father had not wanted so, he would have left college because what he (Robert) really wanted to do was keep moving, because he did not like the idea to stay at any one place.

There are some other references too about Robert’s dream of leaving the farm, for example poetry from the poetry book Robert was reading, (read by Andrew) has these lines,

"I have loved wind and light and the bright sea. But holy and most sacred night, not as I love and have loved thee."

But the sentence spoken by Robert himself reflects his dream most clearly.

Question:

Select the correct text in the passage.

Which word in this excerpt from act 1 of Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon reflects the theme of pursuing one's dreams?

ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to wonder what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind. (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It called to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea. And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.
