Question: 313
6. Sara most likely mentions Isobel Grange in order to
- A. clarify a position
- B. set a standard of comparison
- C. pose a new topic of conversation
- D. challenge a belief
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B Sara states in the 4th paragraph that she is not beautiful at all and that, in her opinion, Isobel is beautiful. She gives reasons for why she considers Isobel beautiful and why she herself is not. Thus, Sara uses Isobel as a standard for beauty in order to show how she does not meet the Isobel-standard of beauty.
