GENERALIZATIONCHOICE AIS CORRECT

7. Question type: generalizationChoice ais correct. It is perfectly clear that Babbitt wishes to return to sleep, but this fact has nothingto do with his blanket. His blanket may indeed offer him warmth and comfort, but the passage doesnot say as much and we know that Babbitt bought this blanket for a camping trip he never took.Choice fis correct. When the alarm goes off, what keeps Babbitt in bed is stated in lines 42–43, that he“detested the grind of the real-estate business.” This makes it clear that Babbitt hates his job. Andalthough the next line refers to his dislike of his family, we cannot assume that he is in a fight with hiswife (she seems cheerful enough when she calls him “Georgie boy” to wake him). We also learn in thelines immediately following that he went to a poker game and drank too much beer, so it is safe toassume that he has a hangover.
