question 1 of 10
read this excerpt from \exhalation\:
it has long been said that air (which others call argon) is the source of life. this is not in fact the case, and i engrave these words to describe how i came to understand the true source of life and, as a corollary, the means by which life will one day end.
which word best describes the narrator based on this excerpt?
a. methodical
b. boastful
c. radical
d. emotional

Explanation:

The narrator challenges the long - held belief that air (argon) is the source of life. This shows a willingness to go against the norm. A radical is someone who advocates for extreme change or goes against traditional views. There is no indication of being methodical (no mention of a step - by - step approach), boastful (no bragging), or emotional (no display of strong feelings) in the excerpt.

Answer:

C. Radical
