Read this excerpt from part 5 of Zeitoun.It was a test, Zeitoun thinks. Who among us could deny that we were tested? But now look at us, he says. Every person is stronger now. Every person who was forgotten by God or country is now louder, more defiant, and more determined. They existed before, and they exist again, in the city of New Orleans and the United States of America. What assumption does the narrator make in this excerpt?
Answer
A
that Hurricane Katrina presented challenges to many people
B
that the people of New Orleans have renewed their faith in God
C
that all Hurricane Katrina victims are having experiences similar to his
D
that the United States government has issued an apology to New Orleans
Explanation
Zeitoun speaks broadly about “every person” who was forgotten and says that each is now stronger and more defiant. This assumes that the other people affected by Katrina have experiences and responses similar to his own. The excerpt does not say that New Orleans residents renewed their faith in God or that the government apologized.
