SAT critical reading question?

Test Preparation

<p>I had no luck in finding someone who met Earl’s standards
“No, I won’t ride with servicemen,” said my casually seditious father, as he slowed down and peered at a young soldier and then resumed his full cruising speed, while I, patriotically offended, watched the stunned defender of my freedoms kicking at his duffle bag and getting smaller and smaller…</p>

<p>Earls remark in line 32 (No I wont ride with servicemen) strikes virgil (he’s the narrator) as being</p>

<p>A: disloyal
B: Shrewd
C: Confusing
D: Humorous
E: Irrational</p>

<p>I will reveal answer shortly after I get some responses, please post your answer choice and your reasoning please.</p>

2

<p>A. 10charhahs</p>

3

<p>That’s correct!, I originally picked E can you tell me why that’s wrong? Is A right because the father is being disloyal to his country by not providing a ride to the serviceman, and Virgil is “patriotically offended” while the father is casually rebellious. Is that the right reasoning?</p>

4

<p>Irrational would not work because nothing about the remark is illogical, or doesn’t make sense. Disloyal works much better because of the fact that he was “patriotically offended”</p>

5

<p>A . Because he refused to take someone with him who is taking care of his freedom. So the father’s reaction is somehow disloyal</p>
