L'Hôte -- Albert Camus
Write in the blank the letter of the best completion to each statement.
During the night spent in the school together,
- Daru slept like a log.
- the Arab nearly escaped.
- several Arabs demanded the release of the prisoner.
- the Arab relieved himself noisily outdoors.
The following day, Daru
- turned the Arab over to the authorities at Tinguit.
- awoke to find the Arab dead.
- gave the Arab food and money.
- buried the revolver in the snow.
As Daru prepared to set out on the road with the Arab that morning, he considered or realized several things. One of them was not:
- Daru hated the crime committed by the Arab.
- Daru acknowledged his clear duty to escort the Arab to the judge.
- turning the Arab in was distasteful and dishonorable to Daru.
- Daru wished the Arab had had the intelligence to flee.
Once the Arab is gone, Daru
- happily regains his solitude.
- uses the revolver left by Balducci.
- is threatened with reprisals.
- decides to live among the nomads.
The Arab prisoner will probably
- never reach Tinguit.
- face the consequences of his crime.
- return to his own people.
- return to his own people.
Daru’s ultimate decision with regard to the Arab was least influenced by
- respect due to the dignity of a fellow human being.
- a desire to avoid a difficult moral decision.
- the concern for his own well-being and personal safety.
- an examination of the meaning and implications of solidarity and loyalty.
