33.

The correct answer is (A).

Evaluate each of these adjectives to

see which one is the most accurate description of Boswell’s

attitude. Do not inject your own attitude; this question is about

the author’s attitude. After careful reading, you will no doubt

arrive at choice (A), admiring. Consistency among questions can

help you here. Note that in question 32, the answer indicates

that Boswell is very balanced in his reporting of Johnson’s

character, so choice (B), fawning; choice (C), idolizing; and

choice (E), indulgent, would be contradictory. Choice (D) might

work, but the connotation is not quite right. Boswell did

describe Johnson accurately, but he admired his subject, too.
