Question 8 • GA-English Language Arts 8

Which sentence best shows the reader what the narrator’s brother is like?

Answer

For a whole month, my brother came home every day after school and worked on his college applications.

My brother, the oldest child in our family, is six years older than I am and nine years older than my sister.

My brother is very motivated to succeed in achieving the goals he has set for himself.

After my brother went to college, I thought a lot about the goals I want to achieve for myself.

Explanation

Choice A shows the brother’s character through his actions: he comes home every day and works on college applications for a whole month. This suggests that he is dedicated and hardworking. Choice C tells the reader directly that he is motivated, but A gives a specific example that lets the reader see what he is like.
