This inquiry lacks the excerpt. I've located the entire question online. It's as follows:
Refer to the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
Meir Katz stayed on the train. The final day had been the deadliest. We started with around 100 individuals in this car. Only 12 exited it, including my father and me.
The primary goal of the author in this excerpt is to convey that ______
A) very few emerged alive from the dreadful train journey.
B) the author and his father managed to survive.
C) Meir Katz was not as resilient as he appeared.
D) Meir Katz was left to deal with the deceased.
Answer:
The main goal of the author in this excerpt is to illustrate that A) very few emerged alive from the dreadful train journey.
Explanation:
This passage highlights a single crucial aspect. Its main intention is to emphasize the terrible nature of the train ride, particularly the last night. Out of approximately 100 people traveling in the car, only 12 managed to exit. The author does state that both he and his father survived. However, the most critical point—and the most shocking information—is the number of fatalities. Hence, option A is the most accurate choice.
