drags himself out of the bed and almost blindly takes his
townels and \todays clothes\ from drawers and a closet and
goes out to the bathroom, which is in an outside hall and
which is shared by another family or families on the same
floor.

other families.

the morning.

c. it shows that he has inherited his good looks from his mother, not
his father.

d. it reveals that he is organized and used to an established morning

Explanation:

• Option A: The excerpt only states the bathroom is shared, no info on his feelings about it.
• Option B: "Drags himself" and "almost blindly" don't directly mean he dislikes mornings (could be tired, not dislike).
• Option C: The excerpt describes his looks but gives no info on inheritance from parents.
• Option D: He takes towels and clothes from specific places (drawers/closet) and goes to the bathroom, showing a routine and organization.

Answer:

D. It reveals that he is organized and used to an established morning (routine)
