Question

1. in paragraph 30, the narrator says, as it was, the two of us were on a collision course that only one of us would survive. what does the narrator mean when he says only one wouldsurvive?

a. only one would stay alive.
b. only one would be harmed.
c. only one would be popular.
d. only one would be able to tell a joke.

Explanation:

The word "survive" in a literal - sense means to stay alive. In the context of a "collision course" where only one can "survive", it implies that only one will remain alive. The other options (being harmed, popular, or able to tell a joke) do not align with the common - sense meaning of "survive" in this context.

Answer:

A. Only one would stay alive.
