Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.My father had huddled near me, draped in his blanket, shoulders laden with snow. And what if he were dead, as well? I called out to him. No response. I would have screamed if I could have. He was not moving.Suddenly, the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer any reason to live, any reason to fight.
Answer
A
The author believes that his father should keep fighting to remain alive.
B
The author believes that his experience is the same as those of the other passengers.
C
The author believes that there is nothing he can do to help his father, so he lets him die.
D
The author believes that the situation is without hope, so he sees no reason to continue on.
Explanation
The narrator sees his father motionless and fears that he may be dead. This makes him feel that there is “no longer any reason to live” or “to fight,” showing that he believes the situation is hopeless. Choice D best matches this feeling; the excerpt does not say that he deliberately lets his father die.
