Let's analyze the question and the article carefully to determine whether the statement is
TRUE or
FALSE.
---
Statement to evaluate:
>
1- Jack got a tattoo to show he was as brave as his friend Tony.
---
Relevant part of the article (Section I):
> "Jack lay, quiet and unmoving, for thirty minutes while a stranger stabbed him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by Tony’s bravery and his tattoo that
he decided to get one too."
---
Analysis:
- The article says Jack was
impressed by Tony’s
bravery and his tattoo.
- Because of that impression,
Jack decided to get a tattoo too.
- However, it does
not say that Jack got the tattoo
to show he was as brave as Tony.
- The motivation is implied to be admiration and influence, not necessarily a desire to
demonstrate bravery or
compete with Tony.
- Jack may have been inspired by Tony's courage, but the text doesn't state that his goal was to prove he was equally brave.
---
Conclusion:
The statement claims Jack got a tattoo
to show he was as brave as Tony — this is
not supported by the text. The article only says he was impressed and decided to get one too, not that his purpose was to demonstrate bravery.
---
✔ Final Answer:
FALSE
Because Jack was influenced by Tony’s bravery and got a tattoo as a result, but there is no evidence in the text that his
purpose was to show he was as brave.
