1)      Walser tone towards Fevvers in the beginning of the novel can be most accurately described as:

a.       Appraising

b.      Analytical

c.       Judgmental

d.      Skeptical

            e.    Both b and d

 

Explanations:

a. This answer is wrong because Walser is a journalist who sets out to expose Fevvers as a fake. He is in no way appraising of her except for her ability to fool the world of her abilities.

b. This answer is correct, but there is a better answer.

c. This answer is wrong because Walser is not judging her. He doesn't put down or support anything she does, he is simply observing.

d. This answer is correct, but there is a better answer.

e. This answer is correct because Walser is sitting analyzing Fevvers, picking her apart with his questions not because he is curious about her life, but because he is skeptic of her and wants to point out the holes in her story.
