Question

Read the excerpt and then answer the question that follows.
"I found that the youth spent a great part of each day
in collecting wood for the family fire, and during the night I often
took his tools, the use of which I quickly discovered, and brought home
firing sufficient for the consumption of several days."

The monster's statement reveals that he increasingly finds that
A. humans are pathetic, weak, and useless.
B. he desires to do the right thing.
C. he wishes to increase his power over mankind.
D. there are many ways to get people to enjoy his company.

Answer 1

Frankenstein, right?

 

What does the statement reveal about the monster?  What is he saying?  He notices that the youth works very hard.  For whatever reason, the monster wants to help.  He has obviously been with the family for some period of time.

You can eliminate answers, by checking their validity against the statement, viz:

Does the monster say anything about humans being pathetic and weak? Nope.

Does he say anything about having power over mankind? Nope.

Does it sound like he is trying to make friends and influence people?  N.

He wants to do the right thing...help the family, especially the youth.

("I discovered also another means through which I was enabled to assist their labours."-The sentence before the statement, from Chapter 12)

 

Good luck!
