Question

What is the author's main purpose apparently?

• A. Describe what lead to his being an introvert
• B. Explore the reasons for his early taste in poetry
• C. Explain what lead to his becoming a poet
• D. Account for the unhappy adolescent's aesthetic sense

Answer 1

The correct option is B Explore the reasons for his early taste in poetry

From the given passage, we can infer that options A) and D) are incorrect answers to the given questions because the passage has more to it than just describing an introvert or accounting for how unhappy adolescents develop taste in poetry. The passage clearly describes the author's journey of how his early tastes were in poetry and who his favorite poets were and how they shaped his future interest in poetry.

So, between B) and C), option B) is more appropriate than option C).
