Writing a Personal Narrative about an Important Person — Unit test
Question 18 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1
Read the beginning of Joseph’s personal narrative.My aunt Sophia is a painter. She started painting when she was a young girl and went to an art school later in life. Now, she makes her living selling her paintings all over the world. When I was in elementary school, a classmate made fun of a drawing I made of a horse. It made me feel like I was a bad artist, so I told myself I would never draw again. I refused to do any artwork, no matter what anyone said. That changed when my family went to visit my Aunt Sophia when I was twelve years old.
Answer
A
a strong example that shows how Joseph’s aunt changed his view of himself as an artist
B
an interesting detail about Aunt Sophia’s life when she was a student in art school
C
a closing explanation of the effect Joseph’s aunt had on his view of himself as an artist
D
some background information about Aunt Sophia and her relationship to one of Joseph’s parents
Explanation
The passage introduces Joseph’s belief that he was a bad artist and explains that his attitude changed after visiting Aunt Sophia. The best continuation would give a specific example of how she helped change his view of himself as an artist. A detail about her art-school years or a closing explanation would not show what happened during the visit.
