Question: 526

We can reasonably infer from the passage that évariste's approach to the treatment of lawbreakers is

• A. tolerant and patient.
• B. unforgiving and relentless.
• C. ignorant and illusory.
• D. generous and gentlemanly.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

(B) Lines 48–53 give evidence of évariste Gamelin being unforgiving and relentless. He resolved to discover the identity of élodie's seducer and further resolved to seek out vengeance on the person. None of the adjectives in the other choices are applicable to his treatment of lawbreakers.
