According to the passage, A man may usually be known by the books he reads because :

  • A.His reading habits shows that he is a scholar.
  • B.The books he reads affect his thinking.
  • C.Books provide him a lot of knowledge.
  • D.His selection of books generally reveals his temperament and character.

Answer: D

The passage says a man's choice of books generally reveals his temperament and character.

The opening line says a man is known by the book he reads as well as by the company he keeps, and that there is a companionship of books as well as of men. As a man is judged by his companions, he is judged by the books he keeps company with: the books he chooses show what kind of person he is.

Being a scholar, being influenced in thinking and gaining knowledge may all be true of readers, but the passage does not give them as the reason for knowing a man by his books.
