Question

Read the following selection introducing President Donald Trump's coronavirus restrictions.

to lift coronavirus restrictions by Easter. He wanted to do this because it would be a "beautiful
time." Anthony Fauci is a member of the coronavirus task force. He is also the country's leading
expert on infectious diseases. Fauci said the Easter deadline was "flexible." It would need to be
evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Trump made another announcement on March 29. He said the
restrictions would last all April.

(A)
(B)
He was overly optimistic.
He loves to celebrate Easter.
He was not listening to the experts.
He was reluctant to make changes.

Answer 1

I would say (A) He was overly optimistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The text never said that the experts disagreed. They just said the deadline would need to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The text also never said he was reluctant to make changes.
