Question: 285
1. This passage can best be characterized as
- A. an amusing story about a high school escapade
- B. a fond remembrance of the narrator's youth
- C. a polite appeal for forgiveness
- D. a penetrating examination of a young man's character
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The entire passage focuses on Paul’s attitude and his demeanor. The red carnation in his buttonhole, the fact that he “was quite accustomed to lying,” and the contempt he shows for his teachers are both evidence of the author’s penetrating look at the character of the young man in question.
