(from The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde)

Read the passage carefully and then answer the question.

In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, at the time, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures.

How does the writer seem to feel about the appearance of the model he has described?
He thinks the young man is very attractive.
He thinks the young man is very unattractive.
He thinks the young man is very ordinary.
He thinks the young man is very strange.

Answer: He thinks the young man is very attractive.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the description of the writer, we can infer that the writer believes that the model is very attractive.

From the passage, it was written that there was a full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty. This sentence implies that the young man was very handsome and attractive.
