Question 10 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC
Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."He said that after the wall-paper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.“You know the place is doing you good,” he said, “and really, dear, I don’t care to renovate the house just for a three months’ rental.”Based on this excerpt, which statement best describes John’s viewpoint of the wallpaper?
Answer
A
He believes that the wallpaper should be replaced.
B
He believes that the wallpaper is unattractive.
C
He believes that his wife is overreacting to the wallpaper.
D
He believes that his wife likes the wallpaper.
Explanation
John suggests that changing the wallpaper would only lead his wife to complain about other features of the house, such as the bedstead and barred windows. By saying the place is doing her good and refusing to renovate, he treats her concerns as excessive. This best matches the idea that he believes his wife is overreacting to the wallpaper.
