Question

Which statement in this excerpt from Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life only after he went to a football (soccer) game?

Answer 1

Perhaps it was these desperate, bitter men in the West Stand at Arsenal who taught me how to get angry in this way; and perhaps it is why I earn some of my living as a critic - maybe it's those voices l can hear when I write.

Answer 2

I'd been to public entertainments before, of course; I'd been to the cinema and the pantomime and to see my mother sing in the chorus of the White Horse Inn at the Town Hall. But that was different.
