Question

At the beginning of the story, the narrator says, "True! - very, very, dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?"

What does the reader learn about the narrator from this sentence?

Question 1 options:

The narrator is not usually nervous.


The narrator doesn't believe he is insane, even though other people think he is.


The narrator is an angry person.

Answer 1

It's the second option!

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrator is clearly nervous, as he "had been and am".

The narrator certainly isn't a very insane person, he's approaching the others in the story with logic and reasoning instead of furiosity and craziness!

So, this puts the 2nd choice (The narrator doesn't believe he is insane, even though other people think he is ) as the answer! :)
