Which one of the following options can be inferred from the given passage alone?

  • A.It is a child's description of what he or she likes.
  • B.It is an adult's memory of what he or she liked as a child.
  • C.The child in the passage read stories about interplanetary travel only in parts.
  • D.It teaches us that stories are good for children.

Answer: B

The statement that can be inferred is It is an adult's memory of what he or she liked as a child.

The narrator says When I was a kid, I was partial to stories about other worlds. The past tense and the phrase 'when I was a kid' show that someone who is no longer a child is looking back, so the passage is a memory, not a child's own report.

The first option is wrong for that reason: nothing is spoken by a child in the present. The third option misreads 'partial to': here it means fond of, not 'in part', and the passage says nothing about how much of any story was read. The last option states a moral about stories and children that the two sentences never draw.
