    Read this passage from an old ELA CC Regents Exam: Which lines reveal a shift in Franklin’s perspective? - ProProfs

    Read this passage from an old ELA CC Regents Exam: Which lines reveal a shift in Franklin’s perspective?

    • “The idea of converting Waggoner Pump into something equally complicated hadn’t occurred to him, and appalled him now” (lines 74 and 75)

    • “ ‘I’m not Karl Linberg,’ he said. ‘I can’t help it. I’m sorry, but I’m not Karl Linberg’ ” (lines 90 and 91)

    • “The tapping was a signal that Franklin had seen many times on hunts” (lines 26 and 27)

    • “ ‘Yes, sir,’ said Franklin. ‘They’re what Rudy Linberg had to make when he was an apprentice in Sweden’ ” (lines 45 and 46)

    Correct Answer
    A. “The idea of converting Waggoner Pump into something equally complicated hadn’t occurred to him, and appalled him now” (lines 74 and 75)
    Explanation
    Even without reading the passage, the phrases "hadn't occurred to him" and "appalled him now" show that the character hadn't thought about these things before, which indicates a shift, or change in perspective.

    Use the process of elimination to remove the incorrect answers. There is nothing in the passage that proves that the author's solution is inappropriate, unrealistic, or universal. The author says things like "same thing happens to other people as it does to me," which hints at some kind of balance.
