Question

The passage suggests which of the following about

Stryver?
A) He is in love with Miss Manette.
B)
C)
He believes that Carton lacks the intelligence
required to be successful.
He does not believe that Carton finds Miss
Manette unattractive.
D) He was born into a wealthy family.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

While Stryver says that Miss Manette is pretty, to say that he is in love with her would be extreme. Therefore, (A) is incorrect. Though Carton is not successful, Stryver says that it is a lack of motivation that holds him back, not a lack of intelligence. Therefore, (B) is incorrect. In lines 63-68, Stryver says that it looked like Carton sympathized with Miss Manette, which indicates that Stryver believes Carton was paying attention to her and saw what happened to her at court. He was paying attention because she's attractive. Therefore, (C) is correct. Because Stryver and Carton never discuss either man's family, (D) cannot be correct.
