In "The Age of Miracles," each of the following statements is correct about Adam and Benton Wolf except which one?

A. Benton is quiet.
B. Adam is the younger brother.
C. Adam yells at people as they pass his house.
D. Benton has a coffin built for himself.

Answer :

Final answer:

The statement that Adam yells at people as they pass his house is incorrect based on the provided excerpts from 'The Age of Miracles'. The other choices regarding Benton being quiet, Adam as the younger brother, and Benton having a coffin for himself are not refuted, making them presumably correct.

Explanation:

In The Age of Miracles, the statement that Adam yells at people as they pass his house is incorrect based on the information provided. This piece of misinformation should therefore be identified as the exception when evaluating the statements. The other details provided, such as Benton being quiet, Adam being the younger brother, and Benton having a coffin built for himself, are not contradicted by the excerpts given. Hence, they are presumed to be correct. Unlike the described behavior of Benton, there is no evidence within the passages to suggest Adam's aggressive behavior towards passersby. In evaluating a character's actions and traits, it is essential to rely on direct references or behaviors explicitly noted within the context of the literature.
