QuestionAnswer
“I wanted to,” I repeated, protesting too much. Then I blurted out, “Actually, that’s not accurate. I was dreading the visit; there was nothing I wanted to do less. When my father told me we couldn’t, it was like I had gotten a reprieve.” He’s honest.
The narrator finds Daria very attractive. Character’s thoughts and observations
Chris Gramercy informs the detective that the narrator was not at fault. Character’s words or actions
Which excerpt from the selection best supports the inference that the narrator is a music fan? A song I loved, Pearl Jam’s “Alive,” came on the radio, and I took my hand off the two positions of the ten-and-two driving stance I had so recently been taught in driver’s ed. (paragraph 4)
There was a faint whiff of something burnt—my tires on the asphalt—and Pearl Jam was still playing on the radio. (paragraph 10)
Hymns were sung. Speakers came up to a makeshift stage and talked about Russ or Professor G. (paragraph 48)
There was laughter around the table, and my questioner added, quoting Johnny Cash, “When you shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die?” (paragraph 57)
In paragraph 80 the narrator says " Actually, that's not accurate. I was dreading the visit; there was nothing I wanted to do less." By sharing his true feelings, he risks being judged as selfish or cowardly. He may also feel that he owes it to Daria to be honest.
Who seemed most angry at the narrator? Daria, the victims daughter
Who was killed by the narrator? Russell Grammercy
Chris Grammercy
Barry
What inference can be made about the meaning of brusque? abrupt
