Question

1. 1 point because of the character description the narrator provides of \old master,\ a reader might conclude that (a) the narrator will eventually be freed (b) the narrator will lead a rebellion (c) old master often punishes the narrator (d) it is safer to run away from old master 3. 1 point in lines 8 - 9, the narrator indicates which of the following about the old master? (a) he has seen a ghost. (b) he is probably insane. (c) he cannot walk very well. (d) he has a religious nature.

Explanation:

To solve these questions, we analyze each option based on the context of the "old master" character description (even though the full text isn't provided, we use typical literary analysis logic):

Question 2

• Option A: There’s no indication from a “old master” description alone that the narrator will be freed. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Leading a rebellion is a major action, and a character description of “old master” doesn’t inherently suggest the narrator will rebel. Eliminate B.
• Option C: If the “old master” is portrayed as punitive (common in master - servant narratives), a reader might conclude he often punishes the narrator. This is plausible.
• Option D: “Safer to run away” is a conclusion about escape, not directly tied to the “old master”’s character description (which focuses on the master, not the safety of running). Eliminate D.

Question 3

• Option A: Seeing a ghost is a specific event, not typically implied by a general “old master” description or lines 8 - 9 (without text, but logically, “old master” description doesn’t link to ghost sightings). Eliminate A.
• Option B: “Insane” is a severe psychological judgment, and a general “old master” description or lines 8 - 9 (without text) wouldn’t imply insanity. Eliminate B.
• Option C: “Cannot walk well” is a physical trait. If lines 8 - 9 (or the character description) hint at mobility issues (e.g., limping, using a cane), this could be correct. But since we lack the text, we use process of elimination.
• Option D: “Religious nature” is a spiritual trait, and a “old master” description or lines 8 - 9 (without text) are unlikely to imply this. Eliminate D.

Answer:

s

1. C. old master often punishes the narrator
2. C. He cannot walk very well. (Note: If the actual text contradicts this, adjust, but based on logical elimination, this is the most plausible.)
