read this passage from dragonwings by laurence yep.

"some," father said. truth to tell, he had never handled a horseless carriage in his life, though he had a book on them and cut out articles whenever they appeared in the demon magazines and newspapers. that was the extent of father's knowledge. but to know facts is nothing. he had an intuitive feeling for what made the horseless carriages tick. he looked around inside the engine for about ten minutes and then wiped his face absentmindedly, so that the grease stained his cheek. he did not even notice.

The correct answer to the question: what is the best inference about Father, based on his actions in the passage? Is the second option: FATHER´S RESPONSE TO THE MAN SHOWS HE IS HELPFUL AND CONFIDENT because we can identify some characteristics about his personality just reading the little passage we have:

Taking into account all these characteristics we can say that he is a nice man that is only trying to help; at this respect we can say that the other options are not the correct ones; the first and the third one cannot be because both of them are related to negative characteristics and we have no evidence inside of these lines that leads us to think on his defects. Regarding the last option that shows him as an honest and educated man is not reliable due to we have no evidence about these features in him; in fact we can say that he was not the most honest with the man when he said that he had had experiences with cars before, so we just can say that the second option is the correct.

The correct answer is the second one: Father's responde to the man shows he is helpful and confident.
