Question 45 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which excerpt from The Golem best reflects a theme of mystery?

Answer

RABBI LOW He’s not a statue. He’s alive. She looks at him as though he’s taken leave of his senses.

PEARL A mound of clay? Alive? RABBI LOW I’ll show you. Golem: Come here.

PEARL What’s wrong? Can I help? ZALMAN It’s not me – it’s you. Your chicken coop broke open and your chickens are halfway down the street.

PEARL That . . . thing. What is it? RABBI LOW A golem. The old books did have the answer. The golem will protect the people.

Explanation

The theme of mystery is reflected in the discovery of something strange and unexplained. In choice D, Pearl asks what the mysterious “thing” is, and Rabbi Low reveals it is a golem—an answer found in “the old books.” The other excerpts focus on reactions to the golem or a broken chicken coop rather than the mystery surrounding what the creature is.
