Question: 353
5. The passage is told from the point of view of
- A. an adult looking back fondly on his own life
- B. a child describing his life
- C. a child describing events that happened to someone else
- D. an adult filled with regret over the passing of time
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A is correct. The passage is narrated by an adult looking back with obvious fondness on his own happy childhood. The author tells of wonderful summers spent in the country. He also mentions something that happens “thirty years later” when he has children of his own. These clues are enough to determine that the passage was written by an adult and that it concerns his own life. Choices B and C are wrong because the passage is written from the point of view of an adult, not a child. Choice D is wrong because the author recalls his childhood with fondness, not regret.
