Question

Read this excerpt and look at the photo from "Max in the Year 2300."

Slumping on his low couch, Max felt restless. "What shall I do today?" he thought, bored. "I suppose I could call Zara and invite her to the Walter Museum. There's an exhibit of statues and photographs, one was striking in particular.” He thought of it and visualized the image. The face seemed so familiar, like one you had seen many times before in your life, such as an image when passing in a mirror. This is what he saw.



What can the reader best predict about Max from this excerpt?

Max and Zara are married.
Max and Zara go to the museum.
Max is a cat.
Max loves mirrors.

Answer 1

Based on the excerpt, it can be inferred that Max is considering inviting Zara to a museum exhibit and has an interest in art or museum exhibits, along with a sense of introspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking what can be best predicted about Max from the excerpt given. From this excerpt, one can infer that Max might be considering inviting Zara to the Walter Museum to view an exhibit of statues and photographs. There are no explicit details in the text about Max's personal preferences or relationships, so we cannot definitively predict if they go to the museum, if Max loves mirrors, or any other details about Max's character like whether he is a cat or married to Zara. However, the fact that Max is considering calling Zara and the mention of a familiar image resembling someone seen many times, such as in a mirror, suggests an interest in art or museum exhibits and perhaps a sense of introspection or familiarity with one's own reflection.
