Question

11. Hawthorne's reference to Lincoln as the man of men" (line 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

E. based on Lincoln’s “very remarkable physiognomy”(line 6)

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist who wrote about his observations about Abraham Lincoln during a White House session.

Hawthorne drew the importance of seeing Lincoln by referring to him as the "man of men." This means that there was something in him which made him stood out from the rest. And so, Hawthorne continues by stating that he wanted to see the "remarkable physiognomy" of the president. The session was an opportunity for Hawthorne.

So, for him, Lincoln was the "man of men" because of his "remarkable physiognomy," which for Hawthorne was different from the other presidents. He was "homey," which Hawthorne described in the passage when he said that the president had a fair appetite.

So, this explains the answer.
