21.
Reread the following passage from page 89:
“Jonas listened. He was very aware of his own admonition not to discuss his training. But it would have been impossible, anyway. There was no way to describe to his friends what he had experienced there in the Annex room. How could you describe a sled without describing a hill and snow; and how could you describe a hill and snow to someone who had never felt height or wind or that feathery, magical cold? Even trained for years as they all had been in precision of language, what words could you use which would give another the experience of sunshine? So it was easy for Jonas to be still and to listen.”
Paraphrase Jonas’s realization based on the passage above.
a)
He can’t explain what he’s learning to his friends because they’re only interested in their own jobs.
b)
He can’t explain what he’s learning to his friends because they wouldn’t understand it.
c)

d)
He wants to share his passion with others in order to inspire them.
