Question

He moved over and the negro took the wheel. Jason closed his eyes. I can get something for it at Jefferson, he told himself, easing himself to the jolting, I can get something there. They drove on, along the streets where people were turning peacefully into houses and Sunday dinners, and on out of town. He thought that. He wasn't thinking of home, where Ben and Luster were eating cold dinner at the kitchen table. Something--the absence of disaster, threat, in any constant evil--permitted him to forget Jefferson as any place which he had ever seen before, where his life must resume itself.
Which detail best establishes verisimilitude?
A.
Jason closed his eyes.
B.
I can get something there.
C.
He wasn’t thinking of home,
D.
the absence of disaster, threat, in any constant evil--permitted him to forget Jefferson

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Verisimilitude is the fact that some things are more true than others, and the fact that Jason, the narrator, closes his eyes and starts imagining Jefferson, shows that his minds image may not be completely truthful, establishing verisimilitude.
