Question 7 • SHS Alt English 4 S1 - 2021
Read the excerpt from “Pakistan’s Malala.”On the blog, she praised her father, who was operating one of the few schools that would go on to defy that order."My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was," Malala wrote. "My father said that he smiled, but could not even say that it was written by his daughter."Now that active and imaginative mind could be gone.Which sentence best reflects Ziauddin Yousufzai’s view of his daughter’s writing?
Answer
A
“On the blog, she praised her father, who was operating one of the few schools. . . .”
B
“My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was,” Malala wrote.
C
"My father said that he smiled, but could not even say that it was written by his daughter."
D
“Now that active and imaginative mind could be gone.”
Explanation
The sentence that best shows Ziauddin’s view is the one describing his response to the diary: he smiled when someone praised it, even though he could not reveal that Malala had written it. His smile suggests he was pleased and proud of her writing. Choice B reports someone else’s praise, not his reaction.
