Try a sample Point of view in literary texts question

Question 1Easy

Tom's father had been a fisherman all his life, and Tom had spent every school holiday on the boat. He knew how to read the sky, how to mend a net, and how to gut a fish without flinching. But the thing he loved most was early morning, when the ocean was flat and the light was thin and grey, and the only sound was the low hum of the engine. In those quiet hours, the world felt as though it belonged to him and his father alone. What does the passage suggest about Tom's relationship with his father?

A) Tom and his father often argued about whether Tom should continue fishing
B) Tom's father wanted him to find a different career when he grew up
C) Tom felt a quiet and deep connection with his father on the boat
D) Tom found fishing exciting but sometimes frightening

Answer: Option C is correct — The final sentence — 'the world felt as though it belonged to him and his father alone' — suggests a shared, intimate bond in those quiet early mornings. Tom's comfort and love for the experience points to a deep, quiet connection. Options A and B introduce conflict not present in the text.

Question 2Medium

The coach had yelled at his players every game for twenty years. They had won three championships. When he retired, every player from every team sent a card. He read them in his kitchen and put them in a drawer without telling anyone. What does the coach's action of putting the cards in a drawer MOST suggest?

A) He is embarrassed by the attention and wants to conceal that so many people cared
B) He values the recognition deeply but does not need others to know it matters to him
C) He plans to throw the cards away but is keeping them temporarily
D) He does not believe the messages because he knows his players resented him

Answer: Option B is correct — He keeps the cards — putting them in a drawer rather than discarding them shows they matter. But he tells no one, maintaining the private, tough exterior. The cards are treasured privately.

Question 3Hard

Emilia had not spoken to Maya in three weeks after a disagreement about the school project. When Maya was chosen to present the group's work, Emilia was the first to clap. What does Emilia's action MOST suggest?

A) Emilia has forgotten about the argument and has no ill feelings left
B) Emilia still supports Maya despite the unresolved disagreement between them
C) Emilia is clapping because everyone else was and she did not want to stand out
D) Emilia wants to get back at Maya by embarrassing her with too much applause

Answer: Option B is correct — Emilia hasn't spoken to Maya in three weeks — the disagreement is unresolved. Yet she is the first to clap. This suggests she can still support and acknowledge Maya's achievement even while the personal tension between them remains.
