<p>passage adapted from short story set in the early 1980s Duncan Hsu, idealistic young american, has taken job in china teaching the english language under the supervision of Professor Mo</p>

<p>professor Mo said "No more songs. you are not engaged in a popularity contest."
"But they like songs,"Duncan protested. "They specificially asked for songs." Duncan recalled the day that the class monitor, William -- the students had all chosen English names for the year -- had made the request on behalf of his classmates. William was a square-headed , square bodied man, so strong that he could lift heavy building materials with his hands. Yet in presenting the class request to Duncan , He had blushed red as a pomegranate, feeling the difficulty of his task.
"You are not engaged in a popularity contest," repeated Professer Mo</p>

<p>Question. In context, the statement that professor Mo repeats ( "You are .... Contest " ) suggests that he
A. is a demanding supervisor
B. is adept at dealing with students
C.is annoyed that the students prefer duncan to him
D.knows how to intimidate Duncan
E.Knows duncan better than duncan know himself</p>

<p>In this case You HAVE to rule out answers my friend i will guide you through the process.
a. If you look at the passage you CAN NOT get that directly from the passage although it may seem right but how could you ell that he is a demanding supervisor when the statement isn’t really a demand.
b.it doesn’t show any where that he is adept at dealing with students
c it says that duncan was listening to the kids demands so therefore they probably likes him but you can put this on hold
d.why would he intimidate duncan
e.Stupid answer</p>

<p>so in this case the only slight possible answer is C</p>
