Question

The statement "You can give me some milk at any

rate, that's plain" (line 27) suggests that the young
man is
(1) nervous
(2) assertive
(3) judgmental
(4) careful

Answer 1

Answer: (2) Assertive

Explanation: By process of elimination, this is the only answer that makes sense since the man is not making any judgements as suggested by the words “any rate”. He is not careful or nervous. Rather, he is direct about what he wants. Thus, he is assertive.
