A man slips between solid spaces, living between ordinary and impossible worlds. Which is the author/work?

• A. Towles - A Gentleman in Moscow (Excerpt, 2019)
• B. Aymé - The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls (1941)
• C. Orreindy - I'll Wait for the Next One... (2002)
• D. Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1979)

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is recognizing a work where a character literally moves through walls, inhabiting a space between the ordinary world and something impossible. Marcel Aymé’s The Man Who Could Walk Through Walls, a 1941 story, fits this description exactly. It centers on a man who can pass through solid barriers, which makes his experiences blur the line between everyday reality and fantastical possibility. That direct focus on slipping through walls is what links the work to the description. The other options don’t align with this premise. Towles’ A Gentleman in Moscow follows a man under house arrest in a grand hotel, not someone who can traverse walls. Brian Eno’s Ambient 1 is an instrumental music album, not a narrative work about a character’s adventures. The remaining title isn’t known for a plot about moving through walls, so it doesn’t match the described scenario.
