Question
In the second paragraph, "the Hun” refers to which of the following?
Answer: Option D
:
D
The second sentence of the second paragraph reads “After America declared war against Germany during World War I, the still infant film industry glorified the fight against “the Hun.” Thus, it must follow that the Germans are referred to by that name.
(A) There is no direct evidence in the passage that indicates this meaning for "the Hun." Furthermore, the use of quotation marks indicates that the reference is not literal.
(B) There is no direct evidence in the passage that indicates this meaning for "the Hun."
(C) There is no direct evidence in the passage that indicates this meaning for "the Hun." The fact that the Hungarians were then part of Austro-Hungary is outside knowledge which cannot be deduced from the passage.
(D) CORRECT. Since the passage states that America declared war on Germany, it must follow that the Germans were “the Hun” against whom America was fighting.
