David Foster Wallace’s Postmodern Voices

Question 4 • AFC TSIA2-English Language Arts S2

Which quotation best supports the inference that the narrator is extremely intelligent?

Answer
A
“I cannot make myself understood, now.”
B
“I believe Hobbes is just Rousseau in a dark mirror.”
C
“I am not just a boy who plays tennis.”
D
“I have an intricate history.”

Explanation

The narrator’s comparison of Hobbes to Rousseau shows familiarity with two major political philosophers and the ability to make an abstract connection between their ideas. That intellectual reference best supports the inference that the narrator is extremely intelligent. The other quotations describe difficulty communicating, deny a narrow identity, or suggest a complicated past without demonstrating intelligence as clearly.
