Question: 14

5. The author of this selection is most probably a(n)

  • A. conscious naturalist.
  • B. experienced hunter.
  • C. inexperienced trapper.
  • D. young Indian.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). The writer's total fascination with and expertise on the subject of the wolverine leads us to infer that he is a naturalist. The fact that he is carrying a gun in wild country does not necessarily imply that he is a hunter. Prudent naturalists may carry guns for self-defense in the wilderness.
