Read this passage from “a worn path.” what can the reader infer about phoenix from this passage? in the paved city it was christmas time. there were red and green electric lights strung and crisscrossed everywhere, and all turned on in the daytime. old phoenix would have been lost if she had not distrusted her eyesight and depended on her feet to know where to take her. a) phoenix has never had very good eyesight. b) phoenix thinks it is a waste of money to burn the christmas lights. c) phoenix has taken this journey many, many times. d) phoenix loves christmas time in natchez.

A) Phoenix has never had very good eyesight.

C) Phoenix has taken this journey many, many times.

Explanation:

This is the statement that can be inferred about Phoenix. We can assume that she has taken this journey many times before, because she is relying on her feet to show her the way. This means that she has walked that path before, and remembers it well. The other options do not match the passage. We do not know she has good eyesight, or when her eyesight got worse. We also do not know whether she thinks Christmas lights are a waste of money of whether she loves Christmas in Natchez.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
