Question

What is the author’s point of view in the passage?

Travelling is a very thrilling experience. The world is a beautiful place, and there are so many destinations to choose from, depending on the amount of money you wish to spend. A lot of people, especially teenagers and young adults, choose to backpack across a continent to avoid spending too much money. Backpacking can be really fun when done with a group of friends. Some backpack solo as well, but this can get a little tricky. There are always more risks involved when you travel to a place that is unfamiliar to you. It could be a little dangerous if you are all alone. When you are with a group of people you trust, it becomes easier to pool resources and come up with ideas when stuck in a tricky situation. Also, you may not know the local language of the place you are visiting, and it helps when you have someone in your group who does.

A.

B.
Backpacking is impossible if you don’t know the local language of the places you visit.
C.
Backpacking is fun and risk free only when attempted with a group of friends.
D.
Backpacking solo across a continent is quite risky, so it helps to have company.

Answer 1

i think D would be the best choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

the author never said don't attempt backpacking alone, and they also never said it was impossible. and it is never risk free no matter how many people you go with so I feel that would be the answer

Answer 2

The answer is indeed letter D. Backpacking solo across a continent is quite risky, so it helps to have company.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of this passage sees backpacking as fun way to travel when one does not have much money. He/she explains that there are those who backpack in groups, and those who do it by themselves. The author does not attack the idea of backpacking by oneself. He/she simply makes it clear as to why it can be tricky: it could be dangerous; the person can only count on him/herself to solve any possible problems; if the person does not speak the local language, the trip becomes more challenging. If one travels accompanied by a group of people, chances are that problems will be more easily solved. The groups can pool their money to help in a difficult situation; someone might know the local language and help the others; more thinking heads, so more ideas available. If we are, thus, to summarize this passage's point of view, it should be letter D. Backpacking solo across a continent is quite risky, so it helps to have company.
