Question
Which statement describes the solution to the problem in the passage from Travels with Charley?
I took one companion on my journey – an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.
Because it was a wind strange to me, and therefore mysterious, it set up mysterious responses in me.
For myself, I try to keep the line open even for things I can't understand or explain, but it is difficult in this frightened time.
Just as I felt unwanted in this land, so do I feel a reluctance in writing about it.
