Dramatic Structure in Monster

Question 6 • *NBHS FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 A

Which sentence from Last Lecture supports the idea that it's important to have far-reaching goals?

Answer

I was going back through the family archives, and what was really amazing was, I couldn’t find any pictures of me as a kid where I wasn’t smiling….

When you are 8 or 9 years old and you look at the TV set, men are landing on the moon, anything’s possible.

I did not dream of being an astronaut, because when I was a little kid, I wore glasses and they told me oh, astronauts can’t have glasses.

And he showed up for practice the first day, and you know, there’s big hulking guy, we were all scared to death of him.

Explanation

Choice B describes a child seeing men land on the moon and realizing that “anything’s possible.” That sense of possibility supports the idea of setting far-reaching goals, even ones that may seem ambitious. The other choices focus on smiling, a personal obstacle, or a frightening coach rather than broad possibilities.
