Which one of the four is the answer
Transcribed Image Text:12. Consider the following excerpt from Catcher in the Rye: "Where I want 5 points
to start telling is the day I left Pencey Prep. Pencey Prep is this school
that's in Agerstown, Pennsylvania. You probably heard of it. You've
probably seen the ads, anyway. They advertise in about a thousand
magazines, always showing some hotshot guy on a horse jumping over a
fence. Like as if all you ever did at Pencey was play polo all the time. I
never even once saw a horse anywhere near the place. And underneath
the guy on the horse's picture, it always says: 'Since 1888 we have been
molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men.' Strictly for the
birds. They don't do any damn more molding at Pencey than they do at
any other school. And I didn't know anybody there that was splendid and
clear-thinking and all. Maybe two gurs. If that many. And they probably
came to Pencey that way" (Salinger 3). What aspect of content is being
