**Part A:** The correct answer is **A. John often feels irritated by his father.****Part B:** The correct answer is **C. "...often repeated rose in his mind like a great brass gate, opening outward for him...a world where people did not live in the darkness of his father's house."**This excerpt reveals John's desire to escape his father's influence and environment, which he perceives as dark. This yearning for a different life suggests underlying irritation and dissatisfaction with his father's ways. The image of the gate opening outward symbolizes freedom and a rejection of his current situation, heavily influenced by his father.
