read the passage.
from \the first seven years\ by bernard malamud
neither the shifting white blur outside, nor the sudden deep remembrance of the snowy polish village where he had wasted his youth could turn his thoughts from max the college boy (a constant visitor in the mind since early that morning when feld saw him trudging through the snowdrifts on his way to school), whom he so much respected because of the sacrifices he had made....
what valid conclusion can you make based on the passage?
a. feld is well educated.
b. feld dislikes snow.
c. feld admires max.

Explanation:

The passage states Max is a "constant visitor in [Feld's] mind" and that Feld respects him "so much" because of his sacrifices, which directly supports the conclusion that Feld admires Max. There is no evidence in the text that Feld is well educated or dislikes snow.

Answer:

C. Feld admires Max.
