Dan brother was extraordinarily fond of his little brother at the beginning of the story.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The explanation for the answer "False" is that the statement suggests that Dan was extraordinarily fond of his little brother at the beginning of the story, which implies that his fondness decreased or changed over time. However, the passage does not provide any information about a change in Dan's feelings towards his little brother, so it cannot be assumed that he was extraordinarily fond of him at the beginning of the story. Therefore, the statement is false.
