Question 5 • FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 B-CR

Which statement best shows a problem in Travels with Charley?

Answer

So it was that I determined to look again, to try to rediscover this monster land.

[S]ince my photograph was as widely distributed as my publisher could make it, I would find it impossible to move about without being recognized.

Let me say in advance that in over ten thousand miles, in thirty-four states, I was not recognized even once.

Even those people who might have known me against a background I am supposed to have, in no case identified me in Rocinante.

Explanation

Choice B shows a problem because Steinbeck predicts that he will be recognized everywhere, while he later reports that he was not recognized even once in more than ten thousand miles and thirty-four states. The contradiction is between his expectation in B and his experience described in C. Choice A expresses his purpose for traveling, and D reinforces the point that people did not identify him.
