Connections and Predictions in Woody Guthrie's Biography

Question 10 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which statement best shows a problem in Travels with Charley?

Answer

One sharp difficulty presented itself. In the intervening twenty-five years my name had become reasonably well known.

This being so, my trip demanded that I leave my name and my identity at home.

I had to go alone and I had to be self-contained, a kind of casual turtle carrying his house on his back.

With all this in mind I wrote to the head office of a great corporation which manufactures trucks.

Explanation

Choice A directly identifies a difficulty: Steinbeck’s name had become well known, making it harder for him to travel without being recognized. The other statements describe his response or plans—leaving his identity behind, traveling alone, and writing to a truck company—rather than stating the problem itself.
