Question

anthem chapter 1-2 quiz
based on the context, that equality risks punishment to create his invention and communicate with the golden one, what does the word wretch most likely mean in the line we say to ourselves that we are a wretch and a traitor?
hero
outsider
coward
miserable person

Explanation:

The word "wretch" typically refers to a miserable or unfortunate person. In the context where Equality sees themselves as such for going against the norms (risking punishment for an invention and communication), it aligns with the idea of a miserable person. A hero is positive - not what they self - identify as here. An outsider is more about being separated from a group in a general sense, not the best fit for the self - loathing connotation. A coward implies lack of courage, which isn't the main idea conveyed by "wretch".

Answer:

D. Miserable person
