Question

The author of “My Father Is a Simple Man” wrote that his father “learned the simple facts in life and lived by them.” What does this description convey about his father? A.His father knows what is important in life. B.His father is an educated man. C.His father wanted to teach his son about the world. D.His father wanted his son to attend college.

Answer 1

I would say answer A because none of the other responses make sense with the context given. The father only picked out the parts in life he wanted to live by and that he believed in. Those things were important to him if he chose to live by them, hence him “knowing the important things in life”.
