Question 3 • TX-English III A

Which idea best illustrates how a reader may make a personal connection to the passage?

Answer
A
The ideas expressed in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance”
B
The current trend of using life coaches as a path to improvement in America
C
A list of goals that a reader wishes to achieve
D
A nonfiction text on the history of self-improvement

Explanation

A personal connection comes from relating the passage to your own life, experiences, or plans. A list of goals a reader wants to achieve is personal to that reader, so it best illustrates this kind of connection. The other choices refer to outside ideas or information rather than the reader’s own goals.
