Question

Read the excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird.

Answer 1

Mr. Tate said, "It was the night of November twenty-first. I was just leaving my office to go home when Mr. Ewell came in, very excited he was, and said get out to his house quick, some sleek-feathered one'd raped his girl."

"Did you go?"

"Certainly. Got in the car and went out as fast as I could."

"And what did you find?"

"Found her lying on the floor in the middle of the front room, one on the right as you go in. She was pretty well beat up, but I heaved her to her feet and she washed her face in a bucket in the corner and said she was all right. I asked her who hurt her and she said it was Tom Robinson—"

Judge Taylor, who had been concentrating on his fingernails, looked up as if he were expecting an objection, but Atticus was quiet.

"—asked her if he beat her like that, she said yes he had. Asked her if he took advantage of her and she said yes he did. So I went down to Robinson's house and brought him back. She identified him as the one, so I took him in. That's all there was to it."

Which identifies and explains a detail from the text that might cause the reader to question Heck Tate's credibility?
(Points : 2)
a- His use of the term sleek-feathered one; it makes the reader question if Heck Tate is prejudiced against blacks.
b- His failure to call a doctor for Mayella; it causes the reader to wonder if he is mentally deficient.
c- His failure to question Bob Ewell on the night of the incident; it makes the reader wonder if Heck Tate is trying to protect Bob Ewell.
d- His failure to ask Tom Robinson for his side of the story; it causes the reader to question the thoroughness of the investigation
