Question

Which sentence from the following conversation most clearly illustrates the technique of challenging ideas?

daniel: O.K., so you think the character's reluctance to open the door shows how he feels about finding out that he's such a terrible person?
ANNA: Kind of . . . more like he's about to discover he's not a terrible person, which frightens him even more.
DANIEL: Whoa, what? I thought the point was that he actually was a terrible person. He opens the door and discovers his life is messed up because of the bad choices he made.
A.He opens the door and discovers his life is messed up because of the bad choices he made.
B.Kind of . . . more like he's about to discover he's not a terrible person, which frightens him even more.
C.O.K., so you think the character's reluctance to open the door shows how he feels about finding out that he's such a terrible person?
D.I thought the point was that he actually was a terrible person.

Answer 1

The answer is D that’s correct

Answer 2

Option D. I thought the point was that he actually was a terrible person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniel intends to confirm his belief of Anna having the same perspective as him about the story by explicitly commenting this idea to her while making the question.

Daniel then discovers his conflict of ideas with Anna and proceeds to further detail his previous viewpoint (using Option D) as a means to try and convince Anna to change her mind about the matter.
