Question

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper." He said that after the wall-paper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on. “You know the place is doing you good,” he said, “and really, dear, I don’t care to renovate the house just for a three months’ rental.” Based on this excerpt, which statement best describes John’s viewpoint of the wallpaper?
A. He believes that the wallpaper should be replaced.
B. He believes that the wallpaper is unattractive.
C. He believes that his wife is overreacting to the wallpaper.
D. He believes that his wife likes the wallpaper.

Answer 1

The answer is:

C. He believes that his wife is overreacting to the wallpaper.

The importances of the exceprt relies on this words "I don’t care to renovate the house just for a three months’ rental.”a

In that sentence the character lets you know that everything that they consider ugly or not suitable from the house is irrelevant giventhe fact that in three months they will be leaving the house, and by that he states that his wife is over reacting to something that they only have to deal with for a few months.
