Question

Which of the following statements about Scout is true?
Scout is older than Jem and is the narrator of the novel.
Scout did not mean to insult Walter Cunningham; she just did not understand that what she was saying was offensive.
Scout did not respect Calpurnia because she was African American and told Atticus she did not want her working for the family any more.
Scout tells the story from her innocent, child-like point of view.

Answer 1

The correct answer should be "Scout tells the story from her innocent, child-like point of view."

It is extremely important that she narrates in this way because her innocent view can objectively show how misplaced racism is because she as a child does not understand what the big deal is. She is aware of how the community feels about race, she just doesn't understand why it is so which is why her innocent child-like narration is very important for the readers.
