Question

The lady wrote a huffy letter because ______.

• A. her story was rejected
• B. her story was rejected, unread
• C. her story was rejected although it was good
• D. Lorimer was biased in his decision

Answer 1

The correct option is B her story was rejected, unread

Option B is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'One day he received a huffy letter from a would-be writer who had a complaint. "Last week you rejected my story," she wrote "I am positive you did not read it, because, as a test, I pasted together pages 14, 15 and 16.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, C, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
