SUBIECTUL I (30 de puncte)

Consider the following text:

But before they heard again from Mr. Gardiner, a letter arrived for their father from a different
quarter -- from Mr. Collins; which, as Jane had received directions to open all that came for him in
his absence, she accordingly read; and Elizabeth, who knew what curiosities his letters always
were, looked over her, and read it likewise. It was as follows:

‘MY DEAR SIR,

‘I feel myself called upon by our relationship, and my situation in life, to condole with you on the
grievous affliction you are now suffering under, of which we were yesterday informed by a letter
from Hertfordshire. Be assured, my dear Sir, that Mrs. Collins and myself sincerely sympathise with
you, and all your respectable family, in your present distress, which must be of the bitterest kind,
because proceeding from a cause which no time can remove. No arguments shall be wanting on
my part that can alleviate so severe a misfortune; or that may comfort you, under a circumstance
that must be of all others most afflicting to a parent's mind. The death of your daughter would have
been a blessing in comparison of this. And it is the more to be lamented, because there is reason
to suppose, as my dear Charlotte informs me, that this licentiousness of behaviour in your
daughter has proceeded from a faulty degree of indulgence, though at the same time, for the
consolation of yourself and Mrs. Bennet, I am inclined to think that her own disposition must be
naturally bad, or she could not be guilty of such an enormity at so early an age. Howsoever that
may be, you are grievously to be pitied, in which opinion I am not only joined by Mrs. Collins, but
likewise by Lady Catherine and her daughter, to whom I have related the affair. They agree with
me in apprehending that this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of all the
others; for who, as Lady Catherine herself condescendingly says, will connect themselves with
such a family. And this consideration leads me moreover to reflect with augmented satisfaction on
a certain event of last November, for had it been otherwise, I must have been involved in all your
sorrow and disgrace. Let me advise you then, my dear Sir, to console yourself as much as
possible, to throw off your unworthy child from your affection for ever, and leave her to reap the
fruits of her own heinous offense.

I am, dear Sir, &c. &c.'
