Perspective and Making Inferences in Loom and Spindle — Quiz
Question 6 • Literature and Composition I
Read the excerpt from Loom and Spindle . My own recollection of this first strike (or "turn out" as it was called) is very vivid. I worked in a lower room, where I had heard the proposed strike fully, if not vehemently, discussed; I had been an ardent listener to what was said against this attempt at "oppression" on the part of the corporation, and naturally I took sides with the strikers. Which statement best reflects the narrator’s perspective in the excerpt?
Answer
A
She questions her ability to understand the strike.
B
She enjoys participating in corporate gossip.
C
She has sympathy for the company that employs her.
D
She is quick to support her fellow factory workers.
Explanation
The narrator says she listened to arguments against the corporation’s attempt at “oppression” and “naturally” took the strikers’ side. This shows that she quickly supported her fellow factory workers. The excerpt does not suggest that she sympathized with the company or doubted her understanding of the strike.
