Question

Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.

"Now it was funny. I never saw my passengers after that first girl. Because I took them on the nights when the moon was not showin, it was cloudy. And I always met them in the open or in a house with no light. So I never saw them, couldn't recognize them, and couldn't describe them. But I would say to them, "What you'say?" And they would say the password. Sounded like "Menare." Seemed the word came from the Bible somewhere, but I don't know. And they would have to say that word before I took them across."

Which statement best describes the speaker’s viewpoint in this passage?

He is amused at the password that has been chosen.
He wants to help people, even if he does not know them.
He wishes that he did not have to take risks to help others.
He is terrified that he will get caught crossing the river.

Answer 1

Your answer should be B. He wants to help people, even if he does not know them.

It is shown through the fact that the speaker does not care whom he is helping by stating, "So I never saw them, couldn't recognize them, and couldn't describe them." This shows that he just wants to help people even without knowing whom it is.

Hope this helps you out! Good luck. :)
