Read the excerpt from Infinite Jest.

Three faces have resolved into place above summer-weight sportcoats and half-Windsors across a polished pine conference table shiny with the spidered light of an Arizona noon. These are three Deans—of Admissions, Academic Affairs, Athletic Affairs. I do not know which face belongs to whom.

Which line of text supports the idea that Hal is meeting the college deans for the first time?
A. Three faces have resolved into place above summer-weight sportcoats. . . .
B. . . . half-Windsors across a polished pine conference table shiny with the spidered light. . . .
C. These are three Deans—of Admissions, Academic Affairs, Athletic Affairs.
D. I do not know which face belongs to whom.

Respuesta :

D. I do not know which face belongs to whom.

The easiest way to answer this question is process of elimination. Options A, B and C could be true even if Hal had met the Deans before. The detailed description of the faces appearing and the look of the table are ones which could be used any time the Deans meet with Hal. Option D is the only line that hints he may not have met with them before because he is unsure which face belongs to which Dean. 

Answer:

The correct answer is D
