Dear teachers,
(context: The following is what happened after the previous context. He wen to Hemingway and said "the young lady at the bar table and I would lkie you to join us for a drink, if you have time. Hemingway said"I've got another phone call to make, and then I'll joun you." The following is what happened after Hemingway joined them)
Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for the bullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when his small plane has crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked me what kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2---a big engine for a small chassis--he remaked,"Get us the manifold pressure in one of those and you can really roll."
They chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watch and said, "I'd like to stay longer, but I've got a dinner date. Nice talking to you."
(When the young man wanted to pay for the drinks the waiter said Mr. hemingway had paid for them.)
Which of the following is NOT true with Hemingway according to the passage?
a. Hemingway was too busy to find time to talk to common people. (F. He talked with the two young people)
b. He was polite and considrate. (True. He talked with them and paid for the drinks.)
c. Hemingway was injured a few months before. (True. In the air crash.)
d. Hemingway thought people needed pressure in life.
Since there is only one correct answer, I consider this true. But I can find the clue to it. Could you please kindly explain that to me?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
