Instructions for Student Read the question carefully and select the best answer. What does the passage below (paragraph 9) most closely suggest about the man? And if the man who once upon a time had been a boy who promised he'd never fall in love with another girl as long as he lived kept his promise, it wasn't because he was stubborn or even loyal. He couldn't help it. And having hidden for three and a half years, hiding his love for a son who didn't know he existed didn't seem unthinkable. Not if it was what the only woman he would ever love needed him to do. After all,what does it mean for a man to hide one more thing when he has vanished completely? A. The man does not actually love his son since he's never met him. B. Theman has lost his sense of identity, having lost his lover and his son. C. The man has trouble standing up for himself and expressing his needs. D. The man is an expert magician who can vanish at the drop of a hat.

Respuesta

The best answer is 'C'. The man has trouble standing up for himself and expressing his needs.

Explicación

## Step 1The first step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the passage. The passage discusses a man who has hidden his love for his son for three and a half years. He does this because it is what the woman he loves needs him to do. ## Step 2Next, we need to analyze each of the given options in light of the context of the passage. ## Step 3Option A suggests that the man does not love his son because he has never met him. However, the passage does not provide any evidence to support this claim. The man's love for his son is hidden, not absent.## Step 4Option B suggests that the man has lost his sense of identity because he has lost his lover and his son. This interpretation is not supported by the passage. The man's sense of identity is not the focus of the passage.## Step 5Option C suggests that the man has trouble standing up for himself and expressing his needs. This interpretation is supported by the passage. The man is hiding his love for his son because it is what the woman he loves needs him to do, indicating that he is not standing up for his own needs.## Step 6Option D suggests that the man is an expert magician who can vanish at the drop of a hat. This interpretation is not supported by the passage. The man's ability to "vanish" is metaphorical, not literal.
