Read the excerpt from Frankenstein, which is told from Victor Frankenstein's point of view. What is conveyed about him? Frankenstein
by Mary Shelley (excerpt)
I threw myself into the chaise that was to convey me away, and indulged in the most melancholy reflections. I, who had ever been
surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavouring to bestow mutual pleasure, I was now alone. In the university,
whither I was going, I must form my own friends, and be my own protector. My life had hitherto been remarkably secluded and domestic;
and this had given me Invincible repugnance to new countenances. I loved my brothers, Elizabeth, and Clerval: these were "old familiar
faces;" but I believed myself totally unfitted for the company of strangers. Such were my reflections as I commenced my journey; but as I
proceeded, my spirits and hopes rose. I ardently desired the acquisition of knowledge.
OA Victor was lonely at the university and uncomfortable Interacting with strangers.
OB. Victor made new friends at the university but missed his family and Henry Clerval.
OC. Victor blamed his family for his discomfort when in the company of strangers.
OD. Victor chose to stay Isolated at the university so that he could pursue knowledge.

The answer is OA. I took the test and got it correct.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
