Question #N1297
The first time I tried to make a pie crust, I was so overwhelmed by the instructions that I gave up before I even started. I thought that baking was supposed to be relaxing, but it seemed like every step required precision and skill. Why did the instructions make the author feel overwhelmed?
The passage most strongly suggests that the author was overwhelmed by the instructions because the instructions
A. were written in a way that the author found confusing.
B. included too many steps for the author to follow.
C. required the author to use ingredients that were unfamiliar.
D. described techniques that the author felt were too advanced.
Correct Answer is: A
The passage states that the author was "overwhelmed" by the instructions. This suggests that the instructions were confusing or difficult to understand. The other choices are not supported by the passage.
