Question

that spot
by jack london
i dont think much of stephen mackaye any more,
though i used to swear by him. i know that in those
days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever
i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be
responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me
that a man with whom i shared food and blanket,
and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail,
should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve
up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an
iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature.
i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i
nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved
together on the headwaters of the stewart, and he
saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after
the years we were together, all i can say of stephen
mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew
which is an objective summary of this
paragraph?
(1 point)
the klondike gold rush often sowed
hatred and discord between those who
had previously been friends
the narrator used to be close to stephen
mackaye but now considers him a
horrible person.
the chilcoot trail was famous as a
difficult pass for gold prospectors in the
klondike
the narrator no longer thinks of stephen
mackaye despite having spent much
time with him

Explanation:

An objective summary presents facts without personal opinions. The first option mentions the Klondike gold rush sowing hatred, but the paragraph is about the narrator and Stephen. The second option has "horrible person" which is an opinion. The third option focuses on the trail, not the main relationship. The fourth option simply states the narrator no longer thinks of Stephen despite their time together, which is factual.

Answer:

The narrator no longer thinks of Stephen Mackaye despite having spent much time with him.
