Read the excerpt from Black Boy. When I awakened one morning my mother told me that we were going to see a judge who would make my father support me and my brother. An hour later all three of us were sitting in a huge crowded room. I was overwhelmed by the many faces and the voices which I could not understand. High above me was a white face which my mother told me was the face of the judge. Across the huge room sat my father, smiling confidently, looking at us. My mother warned me not to be fooled by my father’s friendly manner; she told me that the judge might ask me questions, and if he did I must tell him the truth. I agreed, yet I hoped that the judge would not ask me anything. Which details from the excerpt best indicates that Wright was fairly young when this event takes place?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is - Wright notes being overwhelmed by faces and voices and describes the judge as being “high above.”

Wright would have been fairly young at this point as illustrated by how he was overwhelmed by many faces and voices which he could not understand. This would be a typical situation for a child to feel overwhelmed in, so many faces he didn't know and voices saying things he couldn't understand because he wasn't old enough yet to know what was being said. In addition he says that the judge was 'high above' which would indicate that he was still short in height as would be fitting for a child.
