Question

Reread the following excerpt about the Finches of the Grove.

…we put ourselves down for election into a club called The Finches of the Grove: the object of which institution I have never divined, if it were not that the members should dine expensively once a fortnight, to quarrel among themselves as much as possible after dinner, and to cause six waiters to get drunk on the stairs.

What's the narrator's attitude toward this club?

A. He believes it's a prestigious club for the elite of society.
B. He's indifferent to the club, but joins because of Herbert.
C. He has a low opinion of its purpose and members.
D. He joins only because Estella told him to.

Answer 1

From this excerpt we can infer that the narrator doesn't have a good attitude towards the club or its members, he claims that he never really knew what was the object of the institution, other than to dine expensively and quarrel with each other. Therefore the right answer is letter C, he has a low opinion of the club's purpose and its members.
