Question

Which event is the inciting incident in "the first seven years"

Answer 1

Well sobel is angered by field's offer to Max

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is that Sobel is angered by Feld's offer to Max.

Explanation:

The inciting incident in "The First Seven Years", short story by Bernard Malamut, is that Feld admires Max for his dedication in pursuing an education, and he contrasts Max's interest with the lack of interest his own daughter Miriam shows about her education. Feld thinks that it would be a great idea to set Max up with Miriam. He expects her to marry a wealthy man and be inspired to attend college.

Sobel is angered by this proposition and leaves the store.
