Question 2 • Language Arts 11

Which event described in chapter 1 of The Scarlet Letter involves the narrator?

Answer
A
The narrator removes a weed from the lawn.
B
The narrator hears the beadle’s call.
C
The narrator touches the jail door.
D
The narrator offers the reader a rose.

Explanation

At the end of chapter 1, the narrator says he has plucked a flower from the rosebush beside the prison and presents it to the reader. The chapter does not describe him removing a weed, hearing the beadle’s call, or touching the jail door. So the correct choice is “The narrator offers the reader a rose.”
