Read this excerpt from “Hills Like White Elephants” and answer the question. The woman brought two glasses of beer and two felt
pads. She put the felt pads and the beer glass on the table and looked at the man and the girl. The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry. “They look like white elephants,” she said. “I’ve never seen one,” the man drank his beer. “No, you wouldn't have.” In this excerpt, what does Jig most reveal regarding her feelings about the American? She exposes her surprise that he is so unobservant. She wishes that he was more responsive. She divulges her disdain of his superficiality. She is mindful of his lack of sophistication.
The correct answer is this: SHE DIVULGES HER DISDAIN OF HIS SUPERFICIALITY. To be superficial means to be shallow, to lack depth. From the passage given above, the man in the passage show his ignorance by revealing that he has never seen white elephants before and the reply that the girl gave him shows that, she dislike his ignorance in such matter.
