Read the original excerpt: "The village clock kept a stricter conscience than the parson, tolling every hour whether or not anyone repented." Which interpretation best explains the clock?
A
It is only literal because a clock can confess sins.
B
It works on both levels: the clock literally marks time, and figuratively becomes a moral measure that exposes human failure.
C
It is only figurative because no clock is present.
D
It means the parson is mechanically accurate in all matters.
