Question

Lines 70-73 in Passage 2 suggest that the interpretation of the Tramp by the author of Passage 1

• A. misconstrues Chaplins fundamental motivation for the Tramp figure
• B. wrongly assumes that society embraced Chaplins unconventional ideas
• C. erroneously credits Weary Willie and Tired Tim with conceiving the idea for the Tramp figure
• D. conveys the false impression that the Tramp was the only character that Chaplin played
• E. ignores the way in which Chaplin sought to render social commentary through his humor

Answer 1

The correct option is A misconstrues Chaplins fundamental motivation for the Tramp figure

Where passage 1 states that the tramp was a character common people identified themselves with; passage 2 states that it was a character whose primary purpose was to make people laugh. So, in this context, A is the best answer.
