How long does Kafka spend unattended at Oshima's cottage?

• A. Three days
• B. One day
• C. Two days
• D. Four days

Answer: (A)

The question focuses on a specific timeline moment in Kafka’s stay with Oshima. During that period, Kafka spends three days alone at Oshima’s cottage, a stretch of unattended time that gives him room to confront his thoughts and feelings without outside guidance. This duration is what the text uses to mark the pause before the story moves forward again. The other options don’t fit the sequence of events as described; three days is the exact interval the narrative assigns to his solitude.
