The best evidence to support the statement "Holden thinks that older people are set in their ways and unwilling to change" is the line: "You hate to tell new stuff to somebody around a hundred years old. They don't like to hear it." This indicates Holden's belief that older individuals are resistant to new ideas or perspectives.
The following passage is narrated by a character named Holden Caulfield. Select the best evidence to support the statement "Holden thinks that older people are set in their ways and unwilling to change."
She asked me where I went to school now, and I told her Pencey, and she said Pencey was a very good school. Even if I'd wanted to, I wouldn't have had the strength to straighten her out. Besides, if she thought Pencey was a very good school, let her think it. You hate to tell new stuff to somebody around a hundred years old. They don't like to hear it. Then, after a while, I left. It was funny. She yelled "Good luck!" at me the same way old Spencer did when I left Pencey.
