Question: 235
6. Which word best describes how the author regards the man in the story?
- A. clever
- B. cautious
- C. foolish
- D. ambitious
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. The day is described as "exceedingly cold and gray." The man determines that "it was colder than fifty below," and yet he continues to travel on. Even the dog "was depressed by the tremendous cold. It knew that it was no time for traveling." Under these circumstances, the best description of the man’s actions is foolish.
