Question 12 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Read the sentence.Kazim likes to watch romantic films with happy endings, but Hannah is such a cynic that she never goes to the movies with him.What does the word cynic imply?

Answer
A
that Hannah is negative about most things
B
that Hannah believes in romance
C
that Hannah thinks positively about things
D
that Hannah prefers adventure films

Explanation

A cynic tends to doubt that things will turn out well or views people and situations negatively. The sentence contrasts Kazim’s enjoyment of romantic films with happy endings with Hannah’s cynicism, so A, “that Hannah is negative about most things,” best fits. The sentence does not say she prefers another kind of film.
