A Boy with Dreams
by A. Gautam
Willy waited every night to wake up and turn into Batman.
He had the jaw that looked intimidating in a cowl,
and the perfect chin with a hint of toughness—
full lips—an embodiment of strength.
But he had the eyes of a poet—searching meaning,
and looking beyond what is seen.
When he looked at the city from his balcony,
he was learning to swim in the world—
growing up to be a man was tougher than it seemed.
He was a boy with dreams.
He wanted wings.
Which statement best describes the purpose of this passage?

A. It's a persuasive selection on how to sleep and dream.

B. It's an entertaining piece about a young boy's dreams.

C. It's an instructive work on how to live and dream big.

D. It's an informative article about a confused dreamer.
