Question

read this excerpt from extremely loud and incredibly close. one night, after what felt like a googolplex inventions, i went to dads closet. we used to greco - roman wrestle on the floor in there, and tell hilarious jokes, and once we hung a pendulum from the ceiling and put a circle of dominoes on the floor to prove that the earth rotated. how does the narration affect oskars credibility in this excerpt? his greek and roman references emphasize his intelligence. his explanation of a pendulum emphasizes his maturity. his fond recollections emphasize his genuine sincerity. his description of his dad emphasizes his lack of stability.

Explanation:

The narrator, Oskar, shares fond memories of time spent with his dad (Greco - Roman wrestling, telling jokes, scientific experiment with a pendulum). These personal and sincere recollections show his genuine feelings. Greek and Roman references don't directly show intelligence in this context. The pendulum explanation doesn't emphasize maturity. The description of his dad doesn't show lack of stability. Fond recollections are a sign of sincerity.

Answer:

His fond recollections emphasize his genuine sincerity.
