Question

In Artist to Artist what can readers infer about the speaker's father?

A. He learned to be a postal worker in school.
B. He became a postal worker to earn money.
C. He wanted his daughter to become a writer.
D. He hoped that his daughter would be like him.

Answer 1

In "Artist to Artist," readers can infer that the speaker's father became a postal worker to earn money. Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker mentions that her father worked as a mail carrier for "thirty-three years in the post office" and that he "knew the city like the back of his hand." The father's job as a postal worker is presented as a stable source of income for the family, and the speaker notes that he was able to provide for them despite not having a college education. There is no indication in the text that the father wanted his daughter to become a writer or that he hoped she would be like him. The focus is on the father's job and how it influenced the speaker's artwork.

I hope this will be a help.
