SUBIECTUL I
Consider the following text:

(30 de puncte)

Against these far stretches of country rose, in front of the other city edifices, a large red-brick
building, with level gray roofs, and rows of short barred windows bespeaking captivity, the
whole contrasting greatly by its formalism with the quaint irregularities of the Gothic
erections. It was somewhat disguised from the road in passing it by yews and evergreen oaks,
but it was visible enough up here. The wicket from which the pair had lately emerged was in
the wall of this structure. From the middle of the building an ugly flat-topped octagonal tower
ascended against the east horizon, and viewed from this spot, on its shady side and against
the light, it seemed the one blot on the city's beauty. Yet it was with this blot, and not with the
beauty, that the two gazers were concerned.
Upon the cornice of the tower a tall staff was fixed. Their eyes were riveted on it. A few
minutes after the hour had struck something moved slowly up the staff, and extended itself
upon the breeze. It was a black flag.
"Justice" was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Aeschylean phrase, had ended his
sport with Tess. And the d'Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing.
The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained
thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they
had strength, they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
(Thomas Hardy, Tess of The dUrbervilles)
