Question

Which sentence best describes Mr. Gibson’s motivation for buying an automobile in Passage 2?
A. It makes him feel special to own a car.
B. It helps him show off his material wealth.
C. He believes that women like Birdie won't drive.
D. He competes with Cal for better quality products.

Answer 1

I don’t have Passage 2 here, so I can’t determine Mr. Gibson’s motive from the text. Could you paste Passage 2 (or the relevant paragraph/sentences)?

If you can’t, here’s how to choose:
- Pick A if the passage says owning a car makes him feel special or gives him personal pride.
- Pick B if it says he bought it to impress others or display wealth.
- Pick C if it says he bought it because he assumed women like Birdie wouldn’t drive or he wanted to avoid her driving.
- Pick D if it says he bought it to compete with Cal or to get a better model than Cal’s.
