Read this passage from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep.

During those trips alone among the demons, Father and I learned things about one another; and more, we learned about being a father and a son. Every trip was an adventure into a strange, fearful city; and yet I felt safe by my father's side. Anyone who could laugh and tell stories and jokes and sing while he was alone among the demons must know what he was doing. In my own mind, Father was the embodiment of Uncle's superior man.

Based on the description of the setting in this passage, how does the narrator most likely feel about American cities?

A) He finds them exciting and full of adventure.

B) He finds them funny and entertaining.

C) He finds them unfamiliar and frightening.

D) He finds them evil and terribly wicked.

This is easily inferred because his Uncle's presence is the only thing that reassures him, as seen in the passage. He refers to the public or certain people as demons, showing that he doesn't recognise any of them and he is frightened in this new place.

Answer:

C) He finds them unfamiliar and frightening.

Explanation:

Look in the passage for indications of the narrator's feelings toward cities: "Every trip was an adventure into a strange, fearful city; and yet I felt safe by my father's side." This excerpt clearly shows that the narrator thought cities were big, scary places, but with his father at his side, he felt safe.

Eliminate answer choices:

A: this choice gives a positive feeling to the city, but the tone of the narrator when describing the city is more negative.

B: similar to above, the narrator doesn't feel this positively about cities.

D: while the narrator is uncomfortable in these settings, he doesn't find them so extreme as evil.

The answer is thus C.
