Discussion
Based only on the information provided in the above passage, which one of the following statements is true?
Answer: A
The true statement is the solitary man described in the passage is dead.
The passage is in the past tense throughout: his life was divided, he worked at all hours, and he probably courted his fatal illness. An illness described as fatal, and a life that is summed up as over, show that the man has died. The passage comes from an essay titled “A Funeral”, but the question says to use only the passage, and the passage itself already tells us this.
(B) reverses the passage: the man's own name has little to show, and his learning went to raise the reputation of strangers, not the other way round. (C) twists scattered and fruits: the fruits of his erudition are scattered, but nothing says he found joy in it. (D) is not supported: worked at all hours says nothing of a court, and the fatal illness is not placed at any workplace.
