Question

Which description best fits the speaker based on his language use?
I can remember how when I was young, I believed death to be a phenomenon of the body. Now I know it to be merely a function of the mind—and that of the minds that suffer the bereavement.
(from As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner)
a young farmworker
an uneducated trader
an old, philosophical doctor
a vagrant outcast from society

Answer 1

These lines would best fit an old, philosophical doctor based on his language use. A farmer and uneducated trader and a vagrant wouldn't be able to speak in such a manner probably.
