    Correct Answer
    A. He remembers when he was a hitchhker and no one in a nice car would stop to pick him up.
    Explanation
    The narrator picks up a hitchhiker because he remembers when he was a hitchhiker and no one in a nice car would stop to pick him up. This suggests that the narrator empathizes with the hitchhiker and wants to help him out, possibly because he knows what it feels like to be ignored and left stranded.

    • Because he only steals from the poor.

    • Because the narrator is not a police.

    • Because the narrator is not weird.

    • Because the narrator is nice and gave him a ride.

    Correct Answer
    A. Because the narrator is nice and gave him a ride.
    Explanation
    The hitchhiker won't steal anything from the narrator because the narrator is nice and gave him a ride. This implies that the hitchhiker feels a sense of gratitude towards the narrator and does not want to betray their kindness by stealing from them.

    Rate this question:

  • 4.

    • He wants to see if the car dealer was telling the truth on how fast the car will actually go.

    • He likes speeding on the highway.

    Correct Answer
    A. He wants to see if the car dealer was telling the truth on how fast the car will actually go.
    Explanation
    The hitchhiker wants the narrator to speed the car to as fast as it will go because he wants to test the car dealer's claim about its maximum speed. By pushing the car to its limits, the hitchhiker hopes to determine whether the car dealer was truthful or exaggerating about the car's capabilities.

    • He was a silversmith.

    Correct Answer
    A. He was a fingersmith.
    Explanation
    The hitchhiker claimed to be a fingersmith. This term refers to a skilled thief or pickpocket who is adept at using their fingers to steal valuables without being detected. This explanation is supported by the fact that the other options, goldsmith and silversmith, are occupations related to working with precious metals, and pickpocket is a more general term for a thief. Therefore, fingersmith is the most appropriate answer based on the given options.
