Question: 330
4. The author admires the athlete for
- A. winning his race
- B. setting a new record
- C. returning to his hometown
- D. dying young
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The author calls the athlete a “smart lad” to die before his glory fades (line 11). Lines 21 to 24 praise the athlete for not becoming one of those “lads that wore their honors out,” meaning an athlete who continues to compete even though he can no longer keep up.
